Alois likely felt overshadowed by Arnold, who was the legitimate heir to the Trancy estate. This may have fostered feelings of jealousy and resentment in Alois, particularly because Arnold's position as the elder son meant that Alois was initially denied the status and power he eventually craved.
After Arnold’s death, Alois inherited the title of Earl. However, rather than feeling sorrow for his brother's demise, Alois may have viewed it as an opportunity to escape the powerless and traumatic existence he endured. His complex feelings about Arnold's death could include a mix of relief, guilt, and lingering resentment.
