I'm feeling a little disappointed about Mael Stronghart

His performance at the final case is... really poor? Considering all the build up that lead to the final showdown, he rarely uses his advantages of being both the Judge and Lord Chief Justice to control the whole situation, seriously, he just let Naruhodo solved the whole case, didn't start taking advantage untill he was already exposed as the Reaper and was too late, all his manipulation speech just feels like a last minutes effort, if he start doing these a long time ago, he could easily close the case way before he got any suspicion on him.

Compare to Quercus Alba, the guy who REALLY know how to take advantages of his power, I just feel really disappointed about Stronghart's performance, I really wanted a teeth-grinding epic fight with the final villian of the this amazing duology, and Stronghart is the GUY who should delivery it, look all those build up about his character, seriously.
