Noirtier was Villeforts father and he worked with Napoleon. Villefort decided to send Dantes to prision to keep his father safe.

Dantes was taken to the Chateau a prison. Dantes was taken to a room for the night. The next day he insisted on seeing the governor, so they locked him up in an underground cell.

The chief officer went to visit the prisoners underground. The chief officer started talking to Dantes. The prisoner asked him if he could find out why he was there. The chief officer read in the book that he was with Napoleon and not to help him.

While Dantes was in his room he heard a sound of a prisoner trying to escape. He wanted to help him..He was number 27, Faria..Faria told Dantes that he was in prison because he wanted Italy to be one country.

Faria taught Dantes new ideas, he learned history, English, languages and many other things. Dantes was much happier there. Farias health got worse.One day Faria and Dantes were working on a secret path when suddenly Faria cried for help. He laid him down and then gave him the liquid in a bottle. He got better but he said next time it happened he would die.

Faria told Dantes a story. It was about his friend Spada and his treasure. Faria also showed Dantes the letter Cesare Spada wrote to his brother about the treasure I will tell you the story of my friend Spada

Farias’s illness was back, and his time he died. Before dying he told Dantes that if he ever got out that the treasure was his..The guards verified Farias death and left his body in the room until it was time to take him to his grave

Dantes entered Farias room and saw that his body was in a long bag of dirty cloth, he had an idea, he thought the only way getting out of there was by getting into the bag and pretending he was dead. Later the guards came and took the bag with Dantes inside, the tied a heavy weight and they threw him in the sea. The sea was the grave of the Chateau prison
