Fritz wanting exclusive attention on him is nothing new, but I have long been wondering why he didn't offer Voltaire a position immediately!
Or: Fritz wants to ditch Voltaire to Émilie for good for him, to prove his serious intentions, and is most annoyed this does not happen.
I think it's quite likely that he's gotten the vibe of Voltaire refusing to come without Émilie, and at this point in time, wants Voltaire to be the one to ask so Fritz has the upper hand when he says Émilie can't come. Maybe.
It's never been obvious to me what Fritz was thinking, though. Maybe if I read their Crown Prince-years correspondence myself, I'll get a better idea.
