Blacas

Chapter 10 - The Little Cabinet in the Tuileries

Blacas — aliases: the Duke, M. de Blacas

Blacas anxiously warns the King of a storm brewing from the South and presses for reports on Provence and Languedoc. When the King remains unconvinced, Blacas introduces the messenger from Marseille, securing the King's audience with Villefort. He physically restrains Villefort from leaving when Dandré re-enters and eagerly supports the King's decision to hear the young man's urgent news, displaying intense royalist fervor.
