Chapter 14: Triple Price
The cart came back the next dawn, and Aoi was waiting at the gate with a hoe.
She had spent the evening going door to door along the north road with Caelrin carrying the sacks.
Three farms had cried and two had slammed the door.
Now it was dawn, and the same driver sat on the same bench in his soldier's boots.
He held out a cream envelope with a lump of red wax on the flap.
"From Mr. Venn, miss. He said you'd want to read it standing up."
She took it and broke the seal.
The paper smelled faintly of cloves.
The handwriting was round and neat and friendly.
Dear Miss Aoi, it began. I hear you are unwell. I am sure it is a passing thing.
The Crown will pay ten times the old price for every sack.
A medal is enclosed, Farmer of the Realm, to be pinned to your hat at the festival.
I ask only that the bin stand open each dawn as before.
The Crown remembers its friends, Miss Aoi. It remembers the others as well.
At the bottom, in a looping hand, was his name.
