EDIT: (not really a spoiler just my interpretation of the scene)
Does Griffith know that Guts is there, though? I took the image from Gut's perspective. Guts literally sees Griffith on a much "higher plane" than himself.
It's hard to know what Griffith really thinks, since he plays his cards so close to his chest, but given that Griffith has extremely keen awareness of his surroundings (as the assassination attempt on him showed) I'm inclined to suspect that he does know that Guts is there. At any rate, Griffith seems to be expressing his true feelings at this point, especially considering how he shoved his dirty work off onto Guts.
