Azazel let out an audible groan of disgust as Jarvan hugged his wife, temptation to separate the two nearly overwhelming. He turns away from the two and rolls his head back so he was looking at the ceiling, "Prince, you and I have to talk."

Belle allowed the hug, coughing softly at the tightness of it as her much smaller, more frail body is forced to endure the bone-crushing hug. But she doesn't return it.
Instead, a pained look spreads across her features as she stares up at her husband, her eyes growing teary with a look of utter heartbreak.
"Jarvan.." She whispers, gently drawing his arms from around her and stepping back. ". . .I.. must know.. " She could hardly think about it much less speak of it as she bit her lower lip. Her head bowing forward with her body softly trembling.
Jarvan scooped Belle up in both of his arms and squeezed her tightly against his chest. He grunted as he heard Azazel speak to him. "This is the first time I've seen my wife in over two months. Give us some time."
The prince became confused as he didn't feel Belle's arms curl up around him. He pulled her away and was shocked when he saw the look on her face. "Belle, what's wrong?" All of his worries returned as she spoke. Was she in fact being abused while on the Isles? His face reddened slightly as he thought of what horrors she had to endure while they were apart.

Belle slowly brought her hands to her chest, folded up within each other as her eyes remained cast downward. The look was heartbreaking. She was utterly torn up by whatever she had intended to ask him about. With a shaky breath, Belle finally asked.
"Is.. it true?" She began, looking off to the side with tears welling up within her soft eyes, "..did you.. cheat.. on me?"
Azazel bows his head as he hears the drama unfolding, he couldn't help but smile to himself greatly amused by what what happening. He was turned away so that none of them would see his expression, but he was secretly hoping something horrible would happen and the two would part ways, no matter how unlikely it was. It would make his plans fall into place so much easier.
The summoner seats himself nearby, casually lounging back in the sofa as he waits for the soap opera to finish.
Jarvan choked outwardly as Belle asked her question. This was definitely the last thing he expected from her. He turned to see Azazel sitting on a couch that was facing away. At least the guy had the decency to turn away while all of this was happening.
Jarvan turned back to Belle to see her looking down. "Hey." He spoke as softly as he could manage. "Where is this doubt in me coming from?" He put a hand gently under her chin and had her look at him. He sympathetically wiped the tears from under her eyes. "I stopped that lifestyle once we started dating, you know that." He leaned in closer to her so he could whisper. "The last time I slept with anyone was with you on our wedding night."

Slowly she pulled away from his touch, her head turning to the side with her back moving to face towards him. Her head bowed again with her arms wrapping about her body, eyes closing releasing more tears, "I want to believe you.." She said timidly, "..but.. my heart has.." Shaking her head, Belle took in a harsh breath, "...the blue woman... said... things-" Cutting herself off, she'd quickly wipe beneath her eyes trying to sweep away the pain as she gently wiped her tears from her cheeks.
"...please.." she pleaded, "..please tell me.. I-I will.. forgive you.. if... if you did."
Jarvan felt hurt as Belle pulled away from him and began to turn away. Where was this sudden distrust coming from? He didn't even give other women lingering stares. He was further surprised as she spoke of the blue woman. He scrunched up his face in disbelief. "Evelynn? You think I cheated on you with Evelynn?"
The prince walked in front of his wife and bent down to meet her gaze. "Marabelle, there is nothing to forgive. I was doing my usual drinking at a pub and that spiteful creature found me. She refused to leave me alone and we had a few drinks together. After I was done I returned to the palace and went to bed."
Jarvan attempted to pull Belle closer to himself. "I never deviated from you. I am a changed man, and I am dedicated." He was saddened that lies were being planted into Belle's mind while they were apart. But he was crushed that she believed them. Did he really come across as a sleazeball that would sleep around with other woman while his wife was kidnapped?

As he came around in front of her and spoke, her eyes slowly opened to meet his gaze. She couldn't believe she'd ever doubted him, but the daunting effects of the Isles surely influenced her to a degree. A hurt look came over her features, before she'd lean into him, wrapping her arms around his head and pulling him against her chest with her head resting atop his. A sigh escapes her, holding him close with tears spilling down her cheeks, "I'm sorry I doubted you.."
Belle clung to him as she trembled, fearful of letting go as if she may never have a chance to feel his embrace again. Every second of every moment she was near him was like experiencing paradise. Much like in the dream they shared even though neither knew for sure if the other had experienced it as well.
Jarvan was deeply saddened by how hurt Belle was by this suspicion. He gladly leaned in and rested his head against her chest. He could hear the steady beating of her heart along with her voice. "Just don't believe a thing that creature disguised as a woman says. Its purpose in life is to cause pain in others."
The prince couldn't help but think of the dream he had as well. That added with the letter is what got him going to rebuild his nation. "Marabelle." He stood back up and rested his head on her shoulders, the end of his ponytail tickled her neck. "I dreamed of you one night. I fell asleep at the base of that willow tree at the estate, and we were together."

Belle gasped softly when he mentioned the dream, looking bewildered at the fact he seemed to perhaps have shared it. "Beneath.. the willow tree?" She questioned in a soft tone as she softly toyed with his ebony hair, "It was so.. beautiful there. I never wanted to wake up."
However realization sunk in as she slowly turned to glance wearily towards Azazel. Jarvan would feel her tense, trembling softly against him as she tore her gaze away from the undead Summoner and closed her eyes.
Jarvan's face grew into a wide smile as Belle confirmed they shared the same dream. He knew he wasn't just imagining her. "Yes! We talked and held each other." He pulled out his hair band as Belle began to mess with his hair. His dark locks messily spilled out. He then gave her a light kiss on the neck.
"Thank you for that. I was lost in depression and you pulled me out. As soon as I woke up I started working again." He wanted to stand here with his wife for hours. They didn't even have to be doing anything, simply being near her filled him with glee.
Jarvan noticed immediately as Marabelle shrunk closer to him and began to shake. He gently pressed her face against his chest as she quickly looked away from Azazel. He felt the need to protect his wife flare up. "Azazel. I am ready for that talk now."
Azazel stood and looked toward the two lovers with an impassive gaze, "About time. This doesn't involve her." He gestured for Jarvan to follow him outside where Belle couldn't hear them. Should Jarvan follow, Azazel would smile slightly, a cruel heartless smile one would expect a child would have as he crushed ants. "You realize she is here for only a week correct? And then I am taking her back to the Isles."

Belle wasn't about to leave Azazel alone with her husband. She was just as protective of Jarvan as he was of her, especially given who was close by. Belle stayed put, but she would lean against the door to listen to their conversation outside ready to come rushing out if Azazel tried anything. She knew she didn't stand a chance, but she still needed to try and protect the man she loved.
Jarvan reluctantly released his wife and followed Azazel outside. He listened to what Azazel had to say and was outraged. "What?" His booming voice startled nearby wildlife. "No, that is unacceptable." He scowled at the undead summoner in front of him.
"Marabelle was unrightfully taken from me. Now that she is back, she is staying." He was furious at this point, and had to resist the urge to hit Azazel. He didn't want to spend his first few moments reunited with his wife having her watch him fight. Surely she was traumatized and he didn't want to add onto her worries.
Jarvan took a few breaths in order to calm himself. "I'm still planning on keeping that deal we made. I need more information on your king though if I am to slay him." To be honest, he The Ruined King was already on his list of things he was going to destroy. He ordered an unprovoked attack on Demacia, and he had to pay for it.
