After being pinned to the floor by Ragnar's iron boot, Eadwig was forced to return to his guest quarters, where the heavy oak door was locked from the outside for the remainder of the night.
Eventually, he fell asleep, but by the time the factory whistles blew in the morning and he was released for breakfast, he was still fuming with market-defying anger over the hostile restructuring that had occurred during the previous night.
Eadwig had no voting rights in how his Guild was being run.
Ragnar did not copy him on the memos of importance that the Directorate was constantly issuing, and as such, Eadwig had a surplus of free time.
However, he was confined to the Governor's Mansion in City Titan without any clearance to leave the perimeter.
After all, the Iron Father did not want the boy leaking trade secrets or causing a panic among the shareholders.
Thus with no authority and no way to review the ledgers, the boy became increasingly bitter.
