[Thinking about Fernand is absolutely top of the list of things that make Albert uneasy, confused and upset. He doesn't even know how he should begin to respond to that. For all that happened, he still loved his father. Should he get defensive on his behalf? But it wouldn't be the truth... should he just accept it? Should he add to it? Franz doesn't even know the half of it. Franz doesn't know that Fernand shot his own wife and son.
No, it's too much. Franz doesn't need to know that. He'd only worry more over something that he couldn't change. In the end, Albert decides that the best way to respond to that is to not.]
... Anyway. It's in the past now.
You'll probably be glad to know ... the Count-- Edmond Dantes is dead, too. [But that's a sticking point between them, so he doesn't really want to have a conversation about that right now either. He hurries on.] I was living with Mother in a small place in Marseille... we were still thinking about my options for the future when I woke up here. Eugénie got an offer to study at some famous music school in New York, so she's in America now. And Haydée has returned to Janina, to take back her rightful place on the throne.
