Remei strikes out.

The "Andoran's little sister" description of Ravounel, designed to position her as a new-regime-friendly non-liability, does seem to land, and the Archduchess is helping on that front plenty, but lead after lead on someone's adventurer friend or third son or half-nephew who might want to be a baron in her late father's barony disappears.  There are plenty of baronies spare for anyone of a quality that her countess would consider a credible candidate.  Nobody has to marry Remei to get one.  She doesn't even think she's offending them.  She thinks she is somehow managing to bore them away.  She knows she's not interesting enough!  She was hoping to marry into it!

And she's not attached to the barony.  She doesn't have commitments there, if it's not a selling point!  But in spite of the ridiculous density of eligible nobility who ought to be champing at the bit to get married and start siring heirs, they want to make solider alliances than what Remei offers, which amounts to "can pass for friends with the countess in dim light", and all seem to have their own sources of native Chelish interpretation before she meets them.  In spite of the abundance of poorly connected imports and resurrectees who ought to be scrambling for competent reliable subordinates, they're almost all sexist beyond belief, even when they aren't they mostly can't stand the association with a bastard, and where neither applies, they don't find her value-add convincing.

So, having fired her full quiver into the most target-rich environment ever conceived, and having struck only the earth, Remei goes home and defaults to what she had been going to do if no opportunity ever arose in the first place.  She's got relevant background to become a magistrate and it's not a bad life.  She studies, she shadows an assizes paladin on a route through the whole region till she never wants to think of mounting a horse again (and can't convince the paladin to marry her either), she moves to the county seat and hears cases under the auspices of her "friend".  They meet up for lunch once a week, play cards, talk about work.  The countess gets married - a newly installed neighboring count's son - and Remei attends.

She goes to Iomedaean services, once those are available - it seems right, for a renderer of the law, trained in part by an Iomedaean paladin.  They don't really do anything for her emotionally but it's the right place to be seen and sometimes they put on little pageants of passages of the Acts, with different people voicing the different characters and such, and those are decent fun as fun goes these days.

But this is all really the least interesting part of Remei Petit's existence.  However tedious, however disappointing, however unsatisfying... after a few decades of this she goes to Axis.
