I think he would feel the entire scenario to be beneath him. There is something rather underhanded about carrying out a secret affair with the ruler you are serving. Gen is a thief and liar, but he is an honorable one. I think sleeping with Eddis would go beyond what he considers honorable. And if it were true, he wouldn't let anyone find out.
The belief that they are having an affair puts an entirely different perspective on their relationship. Everyone in the Court now will wonder at the decisions she makes and exactly what kind of influence that sort of relationship has on how she listens to him. Just the belief that they are involved with each other that way could change the entire dynamic of the court.
I agree with those below who have said he is also annoyed at the guards thinking him inadequate protection, but I think that is only a little bit responsible for his bad mood.
