Chapter 7 Pure White Lily of the Valley
After receiving the report from Chloe's family, the court responsible for maintaining daily order immediately reported it to Navelette, who rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.
Surprisingly, Navelette found Chloe completely unharmed.
Well, if we ignore the conspicuous red mark on her head.
At that moment, Chloe was lying on Aurelie's lap, groaning because of someone's rough application of medicine.
But as soon as she saw him arrive, she immediately swallowed back the sounds that could only be described as howling and begging Aurelie to be gentle.
"Hmph!" After treating the wound, Aurelia threw the cotton swab filled with mercurochrome into the trash can, saying with exasperation, "Now you know it hurts? Why were you so quick back then? I told you to wait a minute!"
Chloe covered her head and cried, "It was you who said it too late!"
Navelette had to interrupt their intimate conversation.
However, with other law enforcement officers present to investigate, and given the recent scandals, Villette couldn't directly inquire about her situation. Instead, he asked in a businesslike tone, "Excuse me, ladies. Could you tell me what just happened here?"
Aurelia nudged Chloe, who then pulled a note from her pocket with a complicated expression.
"In short, it all happened so suddenly. I didn't even see who it was before the gun was already pointed at my forehead—"
*
Just as she said, when the gun was pointed at her head, Chloe's mind went completely blank, and all she could see was the dark muzzle of the gun.
The same goes for Aurelia.
Even so, the uninvited guest did not hesitate at all, pulled the trigger, and ran away without even checking whether he had succeeded.
The moment the gunshot rang out, Chloe instinctively closed her eyes.
The expected pain didn't come as expected. The rubber-coated bullet hit her forehead, leaving a red mark. Although it hurt a bit, it was nothing compared to being shot in the head.
The soft-nosed bullet fell to the ground quite cleanly after hitting its target, splitting in two and revealing the note inside.
Chloe, rubbing her slightly scraped forehead, squatted down and picked up the note.
Aurélie also came over, first checking on her condition, and only after confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong did she go out to find the nearest courthouse to report the incident.
Then came what Villette saw when she arrived.

"Have you read what's on it?" Navelette took the note from her hand, which was placed in a sealed bag.
"Not yet." Chloe shook her head.
She was extremely protective of her life. Even though this unexpected incident didn't cause any real harm, she remained vigilant and even dared not touch the note because she was worried that the note itself might actually be the work of that person.
Even when she first picked up the notes, she would cover her hands with her sleeves before touching them.
Chloe shared her concerns with Navelette.
After examining it with water elemental power, Navelette shook his head at her: "There's nothing poisonous or anything like that on it."
However, since Chloe still had reservations, he no longer intended to take the note out and simply continued reading it.
Surprisingly, the letter was addressed to Navigette.
[My beloved Lady Navigette:]
I never imagined that my brief absence for work would lead to such a defilement of your purity. But it doesn't matter; this small mistake is like a stray branch on a white rose, easily trimmed away without affecting your nobility.
If I do that, you'll surely be watching me intently from the dock, won't you? I can't wait to see you reprimand me, the "defendant."
This time, I'm sure I'll make you remember my name!
Your beloved pure white lily of the valley

Navette's expression was quite unpleasant.
Longlong still doesn't understand humans enough. Although he has a lot of theoretical experience, books on how to interact with people won't tell you how to interact with perverts.
Although it was a life-threatening situation, the wording of the letter left Chloe with no emotion other than a chill.
She touched her arms, which were now covered in goosebumps, and couldn't help but ask, "Just who is this Pure White Lily of the Valley?"
Navelette didn't actually know either; he had absolutely no recollection of the name.
Therefore, upon hearing her question, he could only respond with a blank look.
Looking at this, this pure white lily of the valley is truly pitiful; no wonder everyone's gone mad and wanted to harm her...
Chloe silently mourned for her for a second, but only for a second, before quickly worrying about her own life: "What should we do if we don't know who Pure White Lily of the Valley is?"
Since it has escalated to the point of murder, the investigation will be transferred to the Shadow Chasing Court. However, there are not many of Melusin to begin with, and with limited resources, the investigation is unlikely to proceed quickly.
Unfortunately, Chloe herself couldn't get a clear look at what the person who came looked like—
While trying to recall who Pure White Lily of the Valley was, Navelette carefully outlined the next steps: "Until this matter is resolved, for safety reasons, I will increase the patrols of the security forces in this area. In addition, I will also deploy a separate security force around your house as a precaution."
His arrangement was reasonable, and Chloe had no reason to refuse.
After doing all this, Navelette spoke briefly with the members of the court present, and then politely said, "Ms. Chloe, that's all for now. If you discover any suspicious circumstances later, please be sure to report them promptly and do not take any risks."
"Yes, yes! Lord Vilette!" Chloe stammered in response, watching him leave.
As soon as Navelette left, Aurelia couldn't help but wave her hand in front of Navelette's eyes: "Okay, she's out of sight now, so hurry up and stop looking so reluctant to leave."
Touched on her secret, Chloe's face immediately turned bright red, but she still tried to argue, "Who's reluctant to part with me? Don't you dare slander me!"
Aurelia knew that Aurelia was now afraid to admit it because of what she had said before, and couldn't help but find it amusing: "I was the one who advised you to seize the opportunity to be with Lady Vilette before, how come it seems like the roles are reversed now?"
Chloe nervously fiddled with her fingers.
Aurelius patted her head: "Why are you hiding anything from me? I admit I was a bit biased today, but he seemed quite serious and responsible just now."
Chloe nodded frantically, rattling off a string of praises that left Aurelia both amused and exasperated.
Ultimately, it's your decision regarding your feelings. If you really like someone, don't miss the opportunity.
After saying all this, she stayed with Chloe for a while longer before taking her leave.
"Huh? Are you leaving so soon today?"
After all, she usually kept herself locked in the theater troupe, and it was a rare occasion for her to come as a guest, so Chloe was a little reluctant to let her go.
Aurelia didn't want to leave so soon, but there were still a lot of things to deal with in the theater troupe. If she hadn't heard about the scandal, she probably wouldn't have taken the time to visit Chloe.
After all, the consequences of this trip will keep her extremely busy afterwards!
"I can't help it, the troupe has run into some trouble recently, and I can't be away for too long."
Since she'd already said that, Chloe couldn't stop her. She could only say, "Then you should go back quickly! Also, although I don't know much about theater, if you encounter any financial difficulties, remember to tell me! You know I don't need the money!"
Aurelia waved to her, indicating that she understood.
