Later, after learning from his father, Lord Narcisse that Leith Bayard is alive and is being held prisoner, he has him freed and informs Claude.

Luc Narcisse: I'm not in love with you either.
Princess Claude: (Smiles) [7]

Princess Claude: I've missed you. Perhaps that's reason enough for you to stop being an ass and stay for the party. [5]

Luc Narcisse: You should go to Leith.
Princess Claude: What? I-I can't. You and I are married. Until death do us part.
Luc Narcisse: If you stay, it's your heart that will die. So will mine. As much as I've wanted this marriage to work, it can't. You love another. [6]
