As news of Napoleon’s landing spreads, King Louis XVIII erupts—not in fear of war, but in fear of ridicule.
At the Tuileries, surrounded by ministers who failed him, the king lashes out in a bitter tirade. Only Villefort stands composed—and is rewarded with rising power. A throne is shaken, not by bullets, but by incompetence and public shame.
