"Almost certainly, but they're not the ones I worry about," he says. "Would-be assassins are a problem for security people. My problems are a little less direct. I can foresee three obvious categories of trouble, once your presence is widely known: quibbles about your immigration status, quibbles about the validity of your marriage, and spite-motivated voting shifts in the Council of Counts. The last problem is not really something you can affect, but the first two... well. You do exist in something of an ambiguous state, at the moment. Taking an oath of fealty as Lady Vorkosigan would go a long way toward shutting up the dissenters. It isn't strictly a prerequisite to remaining on the planet and married to Miles, but it would clarify some of those ambiguities, and it would be something to point to when people complain about your planet of origin."
