Part 3/8:
AB's cell is vastly different from Edmond's, resembling a small hotel room rather than a prison cell. It offers comfort in the form of books and furniture, instilling Edmond with a sense of hope and ambition. AB proposes a deal: if Edmond helps him dig the tunnel to freedom, he will impart his knowledge of swordsmanship to him. With nothing to lose, Edmond eagerly agrees and finds himself engrossed in the grueling tasks of digging, studying, and learning martial arts.
Days turn into months as Edmond dedicates himself to both physical and mental improvement. Under AB's tutelage, he cultivates remarkable skills in swordsmanship, emerging not only as a warrior but also as a man fueled by revenge against those who wronged him.
