“That sounds nice,” Mimi nodded along, “though I;m not sure I’m much of a puncher. I worry about my manicure too much…I’d just spread mean rumours about them behind their backs.” She tried for a smile, but it probably looked more like a grimace. “Who taught you to box? I was never allowed to play proper sports…”
“Did you bring a minder with you?” She glanced around, as though one might be hiding in a locker. She’d given her own the slip on the stairs. They were probably looking for her now, but they’d go to the bar and the rooftop pool before they checked the men’s locker room. “It’s about, well, money….” Mimi’s face was serious, but when she realised how what she’d said sounded, she snorted, and clarified, “I’m not hitting you up for cash. The situation’s not that dire, yet.”
“Yeah well I can curse them to all hell but that still won’t make my son wake up. It does still feel kinda good to call them pieces of shit though. Ain’t gonna lie about that.” Val already had a reputation for being rather crude for a royal but he didn’t give a shit about what other people thought about him. As long as he did his job at the end of the day that’s all that mattered to him. “Eh I learned a bit from when I trained in the Swiss Guard and then improved here and there by watching YouTube videos. Nothing super fancy. You should give it a try sometime. You can wear gloves to protect those pretty little hands of yours. ...I don’t know about you but it’d be nice to have an actual sparring partner for a change besides the punching bag.” He suggested before looking behind him to see where she was staring at. “Huh? Nah I don’t have a minder. Do I look like a fucking child to you? Is that supposed to be some kind of compliment?” He laughed a bit. It was the first time he laughed in the past couple of weeks. But he stopped laughing when he heard her talk about money. “Whoa there. Shit’s gotta be hitting the fan soon if Monaco is asking the Swiss for money... but obviously I’m missing something here. Is something going down I don’t know about yet?” Maybe his lack of attention to politics was finally going to bite him in the ass.
