He's... an orrogant, cocky, too confident and prideful of a person. He doesn't know how it would feel to be so poor. He laughs. And laughs at low ranked people. Bullying them with his riches. Afterall. He's just a French/German King. That wishes to stand tall and never come down. He never had friends. He used them as playthings. He will use his "allies" as playthings. He acts nice torwards countries/empires that is far more powerful than him, then make an alliance and then use them as defenses.
