I think Lui cares a lot about Wil in his own way and his anger is part of that. Obviously yeah we see Lui get angry a lot but his anger at Wil in the aftermath of him being stabbed just felt SO personal
His face here when he hears that Wil is gonna be executed!!! Bro that is genuine fear, he worries for Wil. We don’t often see him panic but this is one of the few moments and it’s soooo important to me
He again expressed annoyance/anger at Wil but it’s obviously out of concern. He’s annoyed by how much Wil does for him, but why would Lui be so annoyed with Wil for serving HIM? After all he’s just a servant for the prince, you’d think Lui must be fine with it all yes?
I’m gonna talk out of my ass here as to why I think that is. I think he has always had a deep care for Wil but he doesn’t want to nor does he really understand. Despite his confidence and popularity, he’s never had any friends besides Wil and that’s noted multiple times in the series. He doesn’t have anyone he’s close to besides Wil (and then maybe Dorothea later on ofc). I think he’s not used to having someone rely on him and just enjoy being around him, he’s confused by Wil and chooses to be annoyed at him rather than understand what these feelings mean
Ok wait I need to do a part 2 cuz Tumblr won’t let me put more images </3
