He knows the secrets of the queen, knows that she once gave birth to a son from him, claims that he has evidence that Margarita wanted to kill her father and blackmails her.

Because he felt that he deserved Alfred&#x27;s good fortune at being born into a wealthy family, Thomas conceives the idea that he and Alfred were switched at birth, and he can&#x27;t help seeing that his unhappiness should be Alfred&#x27;s, from the loss of his sister to his inability to have a relationship with the woman Evelyne. So, as his life is ending, he formulates a plan of revenge against his bitter enemy, his lifetime adversary, the man who stole his existence.
