“All human wisdom is summed up in these two words: Wait and Hope.”

From Château d’If, from the flames of vengeance, from the darkness where even the world forgot his name—

The Count has returned.

Edmond Dantès. The Eternal Avenger. The Count of Monte Cristo.

But what does Edmond do when he is not fighting?

What lies beyond the flames of the Avenger?

For this contest, show us Edmond Dantès as you imagine him beyond the battlefield.

Perhaps he is still the terrifying Count of Monte Cristo…

Or perhaps, for a brief moment, he is simply Edmond.

[Possible Scenarios]

Your imagination is the limit!

📖 The Quiet Count — Edmond alone in the library, peacefully enjoying a quiet moment with a book.

☕ Coffee Break — Edmond serving coffee to Hans Christian Andersen, William Shakespeare, or both.

🏃 The Reluctant Caregiver — Edmond running away from Florence Nightingale—or helping her during an emergency.

✝️ A Saint’s Wish — Jeanne d’Arc speaking with Edmond about her wish to free him from vengeance.

❄️ Mission Partners — Edmond and Scáthach-Skadi fighting side by side.

⚔️ Avenger vs. Hero — Edmond sparring with another Heroic Spirit.

👨‍👧 Best Dad in Chaldea — Edmond caring for Ritsuka Fujimaru, Abigail Williams, or another young Servant.

❤️ Beyond Vengeance — Edmond forming a friendship, bond, or romantic relationship with another Servant.

[The Theme]

Vengeance. Duty. Friendship. Family. Love.

Edmond has spent an eternity remembering.

Now show us what he chooses to remember when vengeance is no longer the only thing on his mind.

Whether it is comedy, battle, friendship, family, romance, or a quiet moment in Chaldea—

Show us your Edmond.

“Wait and hope.”

And perhaps, this time, he can do more than wait.
