There Are No Murders in Politics (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 12 – Part 3)

Murder? Or just business as usual?

Villefort insists General Quesnel was assassinated. But Noirtier calmly dismantles his son’s outrage, offering a brutal lesson in political reality: in the world of power, people aren’t murdered—they’re removed. And sooner or later, it’s always someone else’s turn.
