The Thane did not know what Kai Syaoran was plotting by going through all this, but there was nothing he could do about the situation. .The only thing he could do was sit back and go along with whatever evils Kai Syaoran was concocting. Still, this was a very bad feeling for someone like the Thane who usually had millions of people doing his bidding. He was used to being in a position of power, and the helplessness that he was feeling now did not sit well with him.
Kai Syaoran could see this helplessness on the Thane's face. This was something he had been hoping for. With the Thane now having a clear understanding of the relationship between them, this would undoubtedly place Kai Syaoran in the more favorable position during their future negotiations. Even though the Thane did not know it yet, this current situation would help him in the future.
