Not gonna lie, I didn't like this development at all. Let's see where the story goes from here.

This feels a little too convenient. I do think it would have been better if the story hinted towards her powers being odd or similar to this maguffin.

at least that take her out of the list of who was the one that tried to use their power on Chloe

This is the misdirection trope, where we're meant to suspect Salome for some time before new information clears her. Here's why I doubt she's the perpetrator.

If Salome's power unintentionally causes mania in men, that could motivate an infatuated Knight to take a shot through the arrow slot in the wall. What's missing is the inside collaborator to guide the knight and the saint candidate to the arrow slot at the right time when there are no witnesses. It doesn't seem like Salome intentionally wants to harm the other candidates.

That means there's likely another perpetrator aware of Salome's influence on the knights, who guided them to the arrow slot and got them to make the kill.

I enjoy the development in the assassination plot. But I feel like Chloe has very little agency in this whole thing...
She didn't purposefully swap the nougat herself... her reading of the knight expression was ultimately useless since Erald just knocked them out...
I dunno... I get that she's supposed to be a very passive character. She's only in it for the money after all. But I would like her to take charge a bit more.

not necessarily. Seems she's often using her power without intending to.
unless we get new information, what she was doing wasn't a power per se, it was the parfum (potion?) that fell on her as a child that made her had that ability on people.
