Chapter 21 Possessiveness
Fu Ningna has been secretly following the gossip for days, and she's starting to feel a little hooked.
"Hey, hey, am I right? Why aren't you saying anything? Hahaha, you can't be shy, can you? You can actually feel shy!" She kept chattering around Vilette, asking questions incessantly.
Navelette couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her nose: "Ms. Furnessa, your energy is simply too boundless."
Funina tossed her long white hair and snorted, "Of course, who am I? I am the all-powerful Funina."
This time, she was unusually quick-witted and soon realized that Villette was just trying to distract her, so she persisted, "You still haven't answered my question!"
Navilette had no choice but to go along with her, saying, "That's right, she's the lady who was accidentally implicated because of me. But I knew nothing about the opera."
Two days ago, after Chloe had lunch with Aurelia, she kept her eyes darting around and her hands were behind her back, clearly hiding something, perhaps the so-called ticket.
Upon hearing his guess, Funina visibly panicked, clearly realizing what he meant: "Could it be that she's planning a surprise for you! Oh no! Have I completely exposed her surprise?!"
She was extremely anxious, circling around and around, filled with regret.
"No, no! I'm leaving! Just pretend you didn't see me today, I didn't say anything!"
As Funina turned to leave, Villette called out to her, "Excuse me, Ms. Funina, could you please stay a little longer? I have some questions for you."
"Hmm? Is there anything else that can stump you?" Funina asked, looking puzzled.
However, she has always liked to do something impressive. Wouldn't it be great to solve something that even Villette couldn't handle herself?
Thinking this, she circled back, raising her head with a smug look: "Tell me, solving problems for subordinates is an excellent leader's inescapable responsibility. Let me—the great Lady Funina—help you resolve your doubts!"
Violet choked on the words that were on the tip of her tongue because of her appearance.
If it weren't for the fact that he had no one else to confide in about what he was about to say, he wouldn't want to talk to this guy who always acted so unreliable.
However, there's a saying that goes, "Many hands make light work," so maybe Funina can actually give him some advice?
He hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke up: "Ms. Funina, you spend a lot of time with humans, so you must know them very well, right? Although I don't know if the reason why humans and dragons are like this is the same, it's always good to have an answer."
"Wait, stop beating around the bush, just get to the point! What exactly do you want to say?" Funina grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Navisle sighed. "I mean, do you know under what circumstances a human's heart rate increases?"
"Of course! It's because I like—" She paused mid-sentence, then frowned and pressed, "But why are you suddenly asking this? Whose heart is racing? Is it you or that girl named Chloe?"
"It was me." Navelette's expression remained unchanged. "I asked Ms. Chloe the same question, but she said she didn't know the reason either."
He recounted what had happened before he noticed his heart racing and Chloe's advice afterwards, making Funina almost unable to suppress her smile.
She secretly rejoiced, thankful that she hadn't spoken too quickly.
Logically speaking, Chloe couldn't possibly be unaware of why her heart was racing. Her deliberately saying that was clearly an attempt to deceive the naive Longlong in front of her!
What if she accidentally let it slip? That would be a terrible mistake. Luckily, she was quick-witted and stopped talking in time!
Although she didn't understand why Chloe would do that, Funina decided to play along: "I don't know either, after all, I've never encountered this situation before."
Violet lowered her eyes, looking somewhat disappointed: "Is that so...?"
However, he didn't intend to dwell on this for too long and continued, "Something unpleasant happened at Ms. Chloe's house last night. I think I lost control, but this has almost never happened before. It was just that when I realized that Ms. Chloe was looking at me, but her attention wasn't really on me, I still couldn't control my emotions."
However, this is a question that even Funina probably cannot answer.
The usually calm and composed Supreme Judge lost control. If this were to get out, even a three-year-old child in Fontaine wouldn't believe it, and would just think the person speaking was making things up.
But these words have come from Violet herself, so they must be true.
Funina racked her brains trying to figure out why, but she couldn't come up with any ideas. However, seeing Violet's pleading expression, she felt that it was rare for someone to come to her for help, and she had just given him a perfunctory answer. If she said she didn't know now, she would feel a little guilty.
She looked Navelette up and down, her gaze finally settling on the two blue tentacles on his back.
—These tentacles are usually hidden in the hair, and ordinary people would just think they are blue highlights. However, Funina, who knows the true form of Vilette, knows that they are not actually hair.
"...Right! You're a dragon! Aren't dragons always very possessive of their things? You're obviously throwing a tantrum because Chloe hasn't been able to keep her attention on you!" Funina said with a forced laugh, spouting nonsense.
Navelette, oblivious to her strange expression, repeated her words several times before suddenly having a moment of clarity: "So that's it, is it possessiveness? But what's mine—"
He never considered Ms. Chloe as his own. Ms. Chloe was clearly an independent person, not his servant or anything like that. How could he have such thoughts?
Clearly, Navelette still hadn't understood what Funina meant.
He wanted to ask another question, but when he looked up, he found that the guy who was worried he would ask another difficult question had already disappeared while he was thinking.
