She lands on the giant’s head, and climbs down to his ear to talk to him. So she jumps out the window on a Woff, and flies to the giant. When the Giant comes back for the third night in a row, Hilda wants to know who he is. Hilda is at loss about what to do now, but Alfur promises her to take her to the King. She and her family are considered enemies of the king ever since the house they live in was build, and thus only the King himself can end the war. Once at the house of the Prime Minister, Hilda is informed that the problem runs even deeper than she thought. On the way to him, she is attacked by the Prime Minister’s cavalry, but Twig scares them off. With the information, Hilda sets out to see the Prime Minister. When the mayor’s favorite pet cat Angelina, who is about to give birth, crawls in to Hilda’s hair, she threatens not to give her back unless the mayor tells her where the prime minister is. Only the Prime Minister can change things now. In the morning, Hilda goes to the mayor, who is unwilling to listen to help her. That night, the giant comes back, and again Hilda fails to show him to her mom. He will arrange a meeting with the mayor of the town for tomorrow. Hilda wants to speak with this prime minister, but Alfur insists that can’t be done. The Elves have grown tired of the humans constantly walking through their village (which, while it doesn’t harm them, is still considered traumatic), and thus the new prime minister has promised to get rid of Hilda and Johanna. The elf, now visible to Hilda, introduces himself as Alfur, and shows Hilda that there was an entire village of Elves just outside her house the whole time.
He instructs Hilda to sign some papers that will allow her to see them, since elves are normally invisible to humans. The following day, a voice wakes Hilda up.
Johanna, scared by the attack, thinks they should move to Trolberg, but Hilda objects. She tries to warn her mom, but the giant leaves again before Johanna can see him.
Outside, Hilda sees a Giant standing next to a mountain. They wreak havoc in the living room until Hilda chases them out with a broom. When Hilda and Johanna are sleeping, the house is attacked by invisible creatures. Tired of the letters (it’s the sixth one already), Hilda writes a letter back to the mysterious senders. When Hilda answers, she finds a tiny letter with a message that they have to move, or there will be consequences. It is night, and Johanna and Hilda are drinking tea in their living room, when there is a knock at the door.
