"Murder her? No. Or only with words." It was the Count's turn to look
away, his eyes narrowing. "Though I was never one hundred percent sure
your grandfather hadn't. He'd arranged the marriage; I know he felt
responsible." 

Miles's brows rose, as he considered this. "Remembering Grand'da, that
does seem faintly and horribly possible. Did you ever ask him?"

"No." The Count sighed. "What, after all, would I have done if he'd said
yes?"

Aral Vorkosigan had been what, twenty-two at the time? Over half a century
ago. <i>He was far younger than I am now. Hell, he was just a kid.</i>
Dizzily, Miles's world seemed to spin slowly around and click into some
new, and tilted axis, with altered perspectives. "So... how did you
survive?"
