Rosia barely slept that night. Her mind buzzed with excitement about the glowing book she and Felix had found at school. What kind of magic could be hidden in those dusty, secret shelves?
Next morning, she was already planning their next move. "Felix, we have to find out more about this book! Maybe it's a secret royal spellbook or a guide to hidden treasures!"
Felix grinned, "Or a cookbook for royal mud pies."
Rosia stuck her tongue out. "Don't make me challenge you to a mud pie contest after school!"
They met near the school library, a huge room filled with towering shelves and quiet students who looked like they'd rather be anywhere else. Rosia and Felix sneaked behind a bookshelf and carefully opened the glowing book. It hummed softly in Rosia's hands.
Pages glowed with strange symbols and pictures of crowns, castles, and mysterious creatures.
"Looks like a treasure map!" Felix whispered.
Rosia nodded. "Or a secret royal manual on how to rule with style."
Suddenly, Lady Beatrice appeared behind them with a smirk. "What are you two doing back here? Trying to find secrets to impress the queen? Ha!"
Rosia stood up, trying to act brave. "Just exploring."
Lady Beatrice crossed her arms. "Well, if you're looking for secrets, maybe you should know that this school holds more surprises than even the noblest tales. But not all secrets are meant to be found…"
Rosia and Felix exchanged a glance, their curiosity growing even bigger.
Later, during class, Rosia couldn't pay attention. Her eyes kept drifting to the glowing book hidden inside her bag. What did Lady Beatrice mean? What secrets could the school be hiding?
After school, Rosia and Felix decided to visit the library again to study the book more. They found a cozy reading nook, surrounded by books taller than Rosia herself.
"Ready, co-captain?" Felix asked.
"Ready!" Rosia replied with a grin.
Opening the mysterious book, they began to decode the strange symbols. It felt like a game, full of puzzles and riddles meant for those brave enough to try.
By the end of the day, they hadn't solved all the mysteries yet, but one thing was for sure: their adventure was just starting—and it promised to be full of magic, laughter, and a little bit of royal mischief.
The next day, Rosia and Felix met at the school library right after classes. Felix was carrying a small bag that looked suspiciously like it belonged to a pirate. Rosia giggled and whispered, "Planning to steal some treasure, Captain?"
Felix pretended to hold a sword. "Arr! Just searching for clues to the biggest secrets this school hides."
The library was quiet and smelled like old paper and magic stories. Rows and rows of books stretched high above their heads. Some books even looked like they could speak if you listened closely.
They tiptoed to their special hiding spot behind the tallest bookshelf—the perfect secret base for any adventure.
Opening the glowing book again, Rosia carefully traced the strange symbols with her finger. "These look like letters, but not any I've seen."
Felix squinted. "It's like code! Maybe a secret message from a lost queen—or a very sneaky librarian."
Rosia's eyes sparkled. "Let's try to crack it."
Felix pulled out a notebook and pencil. "We can make our own secret code too! Maybe we'll find secret passages or royal treasure."
Just as they were getting excited, a soft thump startled them. They turned around to see Lady Beatrice standing there again, arms crossed and a sly smile on her face.
"So, still poking around in forbidden books?" she teased.
Rosia crossed her arms, trying not to smile, "Curiosity is part of learning, you know."
Lady Beatrice raised an eyebrow, "Well, if you want to be part of the noble crowd, you'd better be careful. Secrets in this school don't like being uncovered."
Felix whispered to Rosia, "She talks like the school is a giant mystery."
Rosia whispered back, "Maybe it is! And we're the only ones brave enough to find out."
Lady Beatrice turned and strolled away, leaving a trail of perfume and mystery behind her.
The friends giggled and went back to their glowing book, feeling like true adventurers.
"Race you to the secret passage," Felix challenged with a wink.
Rosia laughed, "First one to solve the puzzle gets to be queen for a day!"
Rosia and Felix were buzzing with excitement after their library adventure. The glowing book was more mysterious than ever, but they knew there was something special hidden inside.
The next day, during recess, they decided to follow a clue from the book—a riddle hinting at a secret passage somewhere in the school.
"Alright, co-captain," Rosia said, tying her hair back like a real adventurer. "Let's find the hidden door."
They searched high and low, checking every nook and cranny. Behind a loose brick? Nope. Under a dusty tapestry? Nope. Even inside the huge grandfather clock? Nope, but Felix almost got stuck!
Just as they were about to give up, Rosia noticed a strange symbol carved into the wooden panel near the staircase—an emblem matching the glowing book!
"Felix! This has to be it!"
Pressing the symbol, the panel creaked open, revealing a narrow, dimly lit passage.
"This is so cool!" Felix whispered.
They slipped inside, their footsteps echoing on the stone floor.
Suddenly, the passage opened into a secret room filled with old relics and sparkling jewels—treasures to make any queen jealous.
But wait—there was also a royal crown… sitting on a dusty chair.
Suddenly, the door slammed shut behind them.
"Oh no! Are we trapped?" Rosia gasped.
Felix fumbled with the glowing book while Rosia searched for an exit.
Just then, a voice echoed from the shadows.
"Well, well, well—look who found my secret hideout." It was Lady Beatrice, smirking just like before.
"We thought you didn't like secrets being uncovered," Rosia said, trying not to show she was scared.
Lady Beatrice laughed. "I don't like secrets kept from me. This room holds the kingdom's greatest mysteries, but not everyone is ready to know them."
Rosia and Felix exchanged looks. Adventure or not, they weren't about to run away.
Lady Beatrice suddenly smiled softer. "Maybe… you two are braver than I thought. But be warned—the deeper you go, the more you risk."
With that, she opened the door and let them out.
Back in the sunlight, Rosia breathed in deeply. "That was close."
Felix grinned. "If this is only the start, I can't wait for what's next."
Rosia laughed. "Me neither. Let's get ready—school just got way more interesting."
