	Retirement Request
	To: His Imperial Highness, Gregor Vorbarra From: Viceroy Count Aral Vorkosigan Re: Retirement Request Sent Via Tightbeam Sire, I would like to request your leave to retire from the post of Viceroy of Sergyar. It has been an honor and a challenge to serve you in this role, and I thank you for this opportunity. However, I have reached an age at which I feel a strong pull to be back at home, watching my grandchildren grow. I do not know if you will have anyone in mind to step into this position. If you do not, I have two men to recommend to your attention: Lord Vortwright, Minister of the Sergyaran Interior, and Lord Vorbahta, Sergyaran Finance Minister. I am sure you are familiar with their work, though I have also attached their resumes and my assesment of their performance for your reference. As I await your pleasure, I remain Your loyal subject, Viceroy Count Aral Vorkosigan Tags: aral, gregor Current Location: Sergyar

Sent Via Tightbeam

Count Vorkosigan, I hereby grant your request to retire from the Viceroyalty of Sergyar. Your service to the Imperium has, as always, been most appreciated, and your devotion to your family is a fine reason to come home.

I shall review the resumes of Lord Vortwright and Lord Vorbahta. When you have returned, I would like to discuss their relative merits with you. I know them both, of course, but have not worked closely with either of them.

I anxiously await your return.

Your Imperial Master,
Emperor Gregor Vorbarra

Thank you, Sire. I shall put things in order for a prompt return to Barrayar so that we can discuss matters further in person.

As always I am

Aral, on a more personal note, I urgently request that you and Cordelia return to Barrayar post haste. Your son's auditorial case has grown rather complicated, and Ekaterin definitely deserves your help with the grandchildren.

I shall of course host an Official retirement party for you, but hope also to join you in a smaller and more intimate celebration.

It will be wonderful to have you back, and this time I want you to stay retired! I may even request and require that you do so.

Yours as always,

Gregor

Thank you for letting me know of all this. While there is much tying up of loose ends that will need to be done here, we can certainly come home directly to help deal with things. And perhaps most of the loose ends can actually be dealt with from Barrayar.

No need to request and require - I have every intention of remaining retired this time. I look forward to seeing you, Laisa, and the children.

Sincerely yours,
Aral

Aral,

I will believe that you want to stay retired when I see it happen, and not a moment before! But, unlike my grandfather Ezar, I will not ever force you out of retirement to serve my own purposes.

Please be assured that you will have at your disposal whatever of Our resources you need to speed the transition of power on Sergyar.

G.
