The Secret Elves
35. A Teki Puzzle

There is an old book with the same engraving as the box but it looks a writing in the middle with letters Elle has never seen but strangely Elle can understand “".

Elves what does it mean inner Elle is confused.

Elle opened the book but there was only an empty old paper there was no writing there that made Elle more confused.

Because they got nothing, Elle who intended to close the box again stopped when she saw an engraving like writing with the same letter as Elle saw on the cover of the book and was behind the lid of the wooden box.

Luckily Elle was able to understand the writing even though she was also curious how she suddenly understood, even though Elle had never studied the letters before.

“The answer in you, nature waits for darkness to unite, complete your duty.” Elle read the writing.

“What does it mean?” ogre.

Elle was more confused by the puzzle he then closed the box again intending to bring it home, when going through the rows of cabinets suddenly the box felt so heavy that Elle was not able to carry it even with Elle forced to drag her on the floor.

Elle turned back to bring the box to the table and put it on the table, which miraculously now the box again felt light like the box had taken a heavy load.

“What does this box do not want me to take out of this room, keep what should I do? This haah is confusing, even my existence alone is confusing for humans.” Elle laughed stiffly at his words that began to digress.

Elle then opened the box again and took out the book in it, and it turned out that there was also an ancient silver pencil with very beautiful carvings.

Elle picked it up and looked at the pencil and she felt like it wanted it too, a little strange indeed but that was what Elle felt when she first held the pencil.

“Maybe tomorrow I have to come back here to break the puzzle in this book, I'm sure all the information I'm looking for is in this book. Today I'm with brother, I don't want to make it long wait and for this pencil I'll take him” Elle murmured.

Elle exited the room after closing the box she had opened, leaving the book miraculously locked inside the box.

“Sister, sorry to make you wait for long” said Elle unwell, after seeing Allan sitting in a chair by the window with a cup of tea in front of him.

“It's okay. Hows it? Vivi get something?” allan asked as he gently rubbed Elle's silver hair.

“I haven't got anything yet, it looks like I'll be back here again tomorrow.” Answer Elle.

“Alright, brother will deliver again tomorrow” said Allan.

“No brother, I want to come alone” reject Elle.

“Alright, it's up to Vivi but remember sweetie still have to ask permission first to us if you want to go” said Allan, said, in order for Elle not to come alone unless she's guarded by Jack's or David's men.

“Of course” replied Elle nodded quickly.

“Is there anything that can attract the attention of miss?” asked Sera who stood up since earlier to see the interaction of brother and sister.

“This, I want to buy it” said Elle while showing a pencil in her hand. “And it seems like I will come here often to read.” Further.

“Oh this pencil, it looks like he is indeed a match with the lady and I will be happy to welcome the arrival of the lady again,” said Sera meaningfully.

Early in the morning, Elle was already in her class, sitting alone holding a silver pencil in her hand while looking up at the sky through the classroom window. He was still thinking about the riddle he found in the wooden box yesterday.

“This child turned out to be here, it's just worth waiting outside not nongol-nongol” grumbled Stella upset when she saw Elle who they were waiting for earlier in the parking lot instead sitting casually on her stool.

“Tumben come in the morning once?” ask Emma.

“Again wants to” says Elle briefly.

“Truly deh, long time you like Varo same Will irrit once said” dumel Lily.

“She has been like that since she first entered”, Emma said. While all that is talked about is silence while focusing on looking at the sky with a wandering mind.

“Ekhem, by the way about Varo and Will. Elle, where will you choose between the two of them? Moreover, I heard that you have been dating Alvaro,” asked Lily to raise her eyebrows teasing Elle.

“For why I choose? After all we only treat each other because of bets when playing at that time” said Elle with still looking out the window.

“They both like you Elle” Lily explained.

“I also like them.” Elle answered quickly while looking at Lily.

“Really!?” lily and Stella both sighed silently, while Emma sighed silently because she knew what Elle meant.

“Yes, just like I like you guys.” obviously Elle looks confused to see the response of Lily and Stella who was once excited now face pouting after hearing his words.

While Emma tried to hold back her laugh, “have I said she won't understand, even if Elle looks mature she's still a little innocent” Emma whispered to Lily.

“That's not what we mean Elle but, how do you explain it?” puzzled Lily herself while scratching her cheek slowly looked at Stella and Emma asking for help.

“Already, just let Elle feel her own feelings if she already understands we can explain it again” said Stella.

In the cafeteria, Elle and her friends were focussing on eating, interspersed with jokes Stella and Lily, the arrival of Alvaro and his friends to the table where Elle made them more and more the center of attention. Not just today, but almost every day.

“Ser.” Alvaro's orders are flat on Lily.

“No want, it will be an empty seat” reject Lily. “Oke-okay I moved” he relented when he saw Alvaro's sharp gaze.

Now, Elle's seat is between the two men with minimal expression that is none other than Alvaro and William. Alvaro's seat was occupied by Lily.

"For you,” said William softly while giving a box of honey milk that he had bought to give to Elle.

“Thank you Liam” reply Elle smiled thinly.

Although Elle was a little confused because almost every day William gave her a box of honey milk but he still received it and thanked, if anyone had good intentions why to refuse especially William is his little friend.

While a girl who saw it was furious while clenching her hands tightly and increasingly looking at Elle with a hateful gaze.
