Looking for the Man Who Can Send Me Home Chapter 20. The Place the Ledger Left Behind
The cloth shop's delivery records didn't match House Veira's ledger.Seoyun transcribed the same entry onto two sheets side by side. The quantities matched. So did the prices. What differed was the delivery date.The shop said it had sent the goods on the twelfth. The imperial record said they had been received on the ninth.The paper had arrived before the goods.She began to write that sentence, then erased it. Something being wrong and knowing who had made it wrong were different problems. The date might have been entered incorrectly.Still, there were more places to check now.After seeing the records, the count had Mira's old ledgers brought out. An aged box emerged from deep inside the study. It smelled of old paper.Seoyun rolled up her sleeves.Leon placed a small handkerchief beside her, for the dust, he said

Even on Leon's day off, Seoyun looked for him.When the maid setting breakfast told her he wasn't on duty, she closed her mouth before calling his name. She had asked for him to be allowed to rest herself, yet habit didn't change easily.She carried the books she'd received to her desk herself.Trying to carry both at once, she dropped one. She bent down and picked it up. That was all. There were more things she didn't need to call someone for than she'd expected.Seoyun accepted that with a little embarrassment.* * *She planned to visit the market that afternoon. While the household searched for Mira's address, she had been checking the remaining construction expense entries. She wanted to know how the unit prices of repair cloth and rope differed from market prices at the time.The steward said they could send someone to the merchants

News of Mira came four days later.It wasn't news of her death, and Seoyun felt relieved first. The count's man had found a house she'd stayed in, in a small northern village. She had since moved on, but a neighbor had kept her last letter.Elin's name was on it.〈Please deliver this to the count's daughter. I will no longer be responsible for that ledger.〉It was dated a year earlier.They didn't know whether Elin had received this letter. Her family said they hadn't seen it. Seoyun checked the letters remaining in her drawer again.It wasn't there.Elin's interest in the sluice works donations hadn't begun only recently.At moments, Seoyun almost understood what the woman whose name she now used had been worrying about. Yet she was tired of having to keep searching through the original owner's life. Why had saying s

Seoyun didn't keep the note to herself after reading it.The next morning, she showed her parents. The moment the count saw the little bird, he shut the study door. Her mother examined even the back of the note.“Does anyone recognize this drawing?” Seoyun asked.The family emblem was on the gates and the carriages. Anyone could draw it. But the lines seemed to point a different way. The bird's beak wasn't holding the branch; it was releasing it.Her mother touched its tip.“It was a mark our former archivist used.”Her name was Mira. They said she'd kept the count's accounts, then left her position a year earlier. Her mother added that she'd sent several letters but received no reply.“She left, rather than disappeared?”“That's what we understood,” the count answered.

Roen, the official in charge of donations, spoke a house's name before a person's.“House Veira has joined us as well.”He greeted Seoyun's father, paid his respects to her mother, and looked at her last. A gentle smile. A face she wouldn't have remembered even had she seen him at the concert.“I hear your daughter had quite a fright.”“She has recovered considerably,” the count replied.Roen adopted a relieved expression. He went on to express regret over the accident and say he would await the investigation. Seoyun looked at his hands. Apart from a ring, nothing stood out.There had been ink stains on the sleeve of Daren, who had sent the letter. Roen's sleeves were clean. She almost wanted to put those facts on the same note, then stopped. Clean sleeves weren't evidence of innocence, any more than ink stains were evidenc

The crown prince sent two copies of the drawing. One was the notice Seoyun had posted at the lost-property desk; the other, the marketplace notice offering a reward.〈They began with the same sheet of paper, but are now being sold as different stories. If you wish, I can tell you how they were distributed.〉Seoyun placed them side by side. Other people were adding their own conditions to the test she'd devised. She wrote back asking for the route of distribution, and asked him to make it known that she had never promised a reward.When the invitation to the ball arrived, the first thing Seoyun did was count the days.A spring banquet.The same words the novel had used when it said Elin disappeared. She couldn't remember precisely which event it meant. They held banquets for flowers blooming, royal birthdays, anniversaries of a war ending. The invitation alone couldn't tell her wh
