Athos tries not to let anything more show -- not how much he finds it distasteful what she's done, not how much it affects him, and not anything else either. "You have nothing to apologise for. You did not pluck her from whatever fate she had found and maneuvered her into the King's arms," he says evenly. "She is her own woman."

And Athos had never possessed her, not truly. It is becoming ever clear of that.
