Consecutive letters pairs:

Hi! I have a question about book 1. "De" in my language (Dutch) means "the". Would books starting with the word "de" be allowed to use or not?

Yes, if that is the version you are reading.

Mostly, it the very first two characters in the title need to be consecutive. (The very last two for Book 2) I'm excluding titles that start with "the" (English language only) because it doesn't have consecutive letters and because you can't just skip to the word after the article as is often allowed in title tasks.
