He's not nasty about it, like some aristocratic characters are, and he does care about his subordinates more than most, but it's still -- he just takes it for granted.
Right. I don't see that as being a spoiled brat, just an acceptance of the hierarchy of Barrayar. But I take your point. He's less independent than we might expect from a hero. The fact that he started his military career as a General doesn't help.
