At the moment, Esdese is - aside from Tatsumi - the most important character in the story. She also receives the most frame time. Unlike Tatsumi and unlike Akame, she actually has the capability to really make a difference. She could actually realize Tatsumi's dream, if she'd have a change of heart. And this is by far the most logical and likely route to victory I can see.

But hey, let's see. My predictions: Shamballa-Teleporter guy will undermine Esdese's position with the Minister, and so begin to drive a wedge between Gestapo-chan and the Minister-Empire. Let's wait and see.
TBF that is highly unlikely, change of heart sure but it won't be without heavily nerfing her one way or another, either by creating a villain she can't defeat or making her weaker. One things almost certain the author isn't going to go the easy way and just have her do all the hard work while making the MC have very little input one way. The road to what Tatsumi wants will be tough and may not even be achieved, actually there's a good chance it won't.
