Chapter 192 The Cart That Changed Everything
“Is this… for me?” Leon asked.
His throat tightened, and for a moment he could not speak.
He thought a leopard would be too hard to make. He also thought Rosalie was angry, so he assumed she had chosen not to make one for him.
He did feel disappointed. But he never expected that the one she made for him would be the most special of all.
Leon took the woven leopard. His fingers loosened, then tightened around it.
His heart felt completely full. A rush of happiness swelled in his chest, almost too much to hold.
His heart raced as he looked up at Rosalie. He was usually smooth with words, but now he couldn’t manage to even speak.
After a long pause, he finally managed a short sentence. “Matriarch, thank you.”
Rosalie took his hand and pulled him onto the bed. Leon’s gaze burned with warmth and sincerity, as if there were no one else in the world but her.
She held his hand, their fingers interlaced, and said softly, “Let’s sleep.”
Leon wrapped her in his arms, holding her like she was his entire world.
The next day, Rosalie sent Declan to cut wood. Before Leon’s expression could darken, she quickly spread her hands to show him her empty palms.
“I’ll tell
you the shape. You just cut the rough form. I’ll smooth it myself.”
Only then did Leon agree.
Rosalie drew shapes on the ground, and Leon carved the wood to match. Each piece was trimmed, and Rosalie refined the uneven edges.
Once her construction proficiency reached level two, clear designs appeared in her mind. Her hands moved like those of a seasoned craftsman, shaping each piece with ease.
Even the wheels came naturally to her.
She placed long wooden strips near the fire, about a yard away, and heated them until they slowly bent. Using mortise and tenon joints, she fitted the pieces together into a circle.
After letting the wheel cool, she carved holes inside and fixed several wooden spokes of equal length into place to keep it stable.
