Within the confines of his starship, the Count of Monte Cristo recounted a tale to Albert concerning a former friend—a man unjustly betrayed and condemned to imprisonment. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Franz found himself on the precipice of un…
As Franz drew nearer to uncovering the mystery of the Gankutsuou, he discovered mention of a sailor called Edmond Dantès, a man linked by curious threads to several prominent houses within Parisian society.
