That gets her a slight incline of his head. He's not sure who Bonaparte is, but he will leave it for the moment. "I serve in the King's Musketeers." Privately, he would concede that it is quite possible to dislike the King on principle, and potentially even more possible after one gets to know him, but. While Athos considers the King to be somewhat annoying and childlike at times, he would truthfully say that he doesn't actively dislike the man. More often than not he is simply annoyed by him, but it isn't difficult to see that Louis is not actually a bad person. Easier still when one can directly contrast him with the Cardinal.
Now there is someone Athos takes the time and energy to actively dislike, even as he respects the man for his skill and cunning. "I believe it is French tradition, of a sort, to dislike the reigning monarch on principle."
