i personally think that the most DEVASTATING lie armand told louis was that claudia didn't love him. he played into louis's biggest insecurities, which started as far back as when he got estranged from his sister to when claudia ran away for the first time to when she was clearly upset with him throughout their europe-wide hunt to when she picked a family with the theatre rather than just the two of them........ louis in his guilt forgot that he was her angel. she returned to home the first time to take louis away with her. she was the voice of reason against lestat's abuse. she stood with louis constantly throughout his depressive episode in europe, even through vampires are no strangers to abandoning others. she encouraged him to find himself as a person once they had settled in paris. she wanted him to watch her in the theatre, wanted him to be a part of her life. to say that she never loved him was armand's cruelest lie.
