Dude, this manga is for damn good. And out of all the side characters I'm really loving the Fleet Admiral for the Imperial Navy. He sees the politics of the nobles and he sees the ambition of Musel. He doesn't mind the ambition and hates the politics yet doesn't act on anything himself. He let's the nobles to keep screwing themselves over and over again, letting Musel face these challenges alone to prove his worth. He won't spur on change, but he's not getting in the way of it either.
