'Lukas... hid it from everyone? He thinks... I have to be protected... this... pisses me off so much!' Napoleon thought.

Lukas noticed Napoleon's mood change, and he immediately got an idea of what was wrong with him.

Franz apparently noticed that something was wrong between them, and interrupted it with a short chuckle. "Well, well, let us bid our farewell, shall we?" he asked.
