Crown Prosecutor Villefort's plan to arrest the Count of Monte Cristo backfires. Meanwhile, Baron Danglars cuts off financial assistance to General Morcerf. Franz and Debray hack into the Ministry of the Interior's database in order to find out more about the Count. Albert meets Haydée, who informs him on how her father was the ruler of Janina who had requested the aid of Earth when the Earth-Eastern Empire war broke out. However, the Earth reinforcements betrayed Haydée's father, labeling him as a traitor and ultimately murdering him. Once she and family had lost everything, Haydée and her mother-(the former queen of Janina) were sold into slavery; she was later given a dagger by her mother to keep in case she were in any risk of serious danger. After her mother died sometime later, an orphaned Haydée encountered the Count who eventually adopted her and took her under his wing. (Source: Wikipedia)
