Xenos l looked at Belle, sort of glaring at her as she neared him. Though after she spoke, he inferred that this was the girl that Jarvan was getting protective about. Suppose he had good reason to, since she was rather beautiful looking. He gripped his blade a bit tightly as the stone began to glow, not taking chances. Though his grip relaxed as his face was soothed with her healing. His hands dropped to his side as he let out a soft groan. "That's better..." He mumbled. Once she began walking away, he put his hand out as a small gesture. "Thanks." He said as he went back to listening to Jarvan.
nodded. Sure he wouldn't be able to make this a lethal mission, but like before, gold was gold. Not to mention it wad going to be quite the reward too. Once he was done, he replied to him. "So do some reconnaissance, come back with info. Simple enough. If I'm compromised for any reason, I suppose I flee? And what about non-lethal combat?"

When the young Noble was beckoned to Jarvan's side, her cheeks would pinken lightly as she turned to face him again. She bowed her head lightly, ever the respectful young woman, and closed the distance to the Prince. Her hand extending to accept his, smiling warmly to the man she had grown ever so fond of, "Yes, Your Grace." Joining him as he had beckoned her to do so. She would step up to the throne, and stand beside it, turning to face the assassin as the two spoke. Teal colored eyes glimmered gently, always warm even to the most unexpected of people.
Jarvan took a hold of the countess' hand and brought it up to his lips. He kissed it gently and rested his cheek on it for a moment. Her being next to him was enough to calm his nerves and lessen his stress for the time being. He couldn't help but smile brightly. "Yes the mission is simple enough, but it is of great importance." He laced his fingers through Belle's as he spoke. "If you are caught you run, make it back to me without being seen. Do not engage in any form of combat with any Demacians. I do not want to start a panic in the people. Do this for me and you will have enough coin that you won't have to work for quite some time and you will have the gratitude of the crown."

He nodded. "All right, understandable." He said. Although he really did want to knock someone out, he knew he was right. In a place as white knight as this, a roaming black knight would cause a panic. And it's not like they can do much. Just simple guards roaming manors. Not like that fancy tech in Zaun and Piltover. "I'll be heading out. I'll see you later with info." He said. He stood perfectly still, his cloak kicking in, making bits of him fading. He would soon completely disappear and head out without a sound.
"Meet me in my chambers when you have the info. Don't worry about having to sneak around when you return, I will let the guards know you are expected." Jarvan waited until the assassin disappeared before turning back to the countess. "Maybe now I will be at peace when it comes to your safety." He looks into her eyes intently, seeming to get lost in them. "I made a promise to never let anything happen to you again and I intend to keep it." He then suddenly remembers he had Poppy waiting for an audience with him. "Guards you may leave now, and send Poppy in. Apologize to her for the wait."
"Yes my Lord." The guards leave promptly and in an orderly fashion. One of them approaches the iron ambassador. "The prince is ready to see you now, sorry for the wait." The guard starts to walk away but stops himself. "Please don't drop any horrible news or a difficult task on my lord please, he is quite stressed out as of late."
((Sure, we can make a separate thread and make it closed if you would like.))

Belle couldn't help but smile at his concern, though she worried he was taking too much time in trying to ensure her safety. "Prince Jarvan." She would say in a gentle voice, pulling his hand up to cup it between her own softly, "I would like to become a Diplomat. To help you meet with other city-states and discuss things. I understand it is a big responsibility, but I believe it would be a good way to help Demacia secure alliances and ensure the well being of everyone involved."
She paused a moment to consider what she had said, and his response to it when it came. Particularly his expression and body language. A brief, worried look would touch upon her features in anticipation of what he might think. But she hoped he might give her a chance to show she could do something good for Demacia that didn't require her to fight.
"I understand if you wouldn't find this acceptable." She said, prepared for the worst despite her optimism.
"And please.. You mustn't worry about me, Your Grace. You have far more pressing matters to attend to. I hope my presence here has not caused you undue stress."

Poppy merely nods at the guard and follows along, her expression as serious and determined as usual.
"Do not worry, I am here to merely discuss something that occurred at the Institute of late. I believe he is aware of the event in question, so this will be merely exchanging thoughts."
Garen entered the room in his trademark bull in a china shop manner, stopping short of his destination when he realized his prince was currently speaking with Poppy, the iron ambassador. A legendary negotiator and diplomat, the fact that she was here speaking to the prince rather than buried in her paperwork as usual could only mean that something important was being discussed.
My liege.
If I could have a moment of your time, after you have finished speaking with Ambassador Poppy, I would like to have a word.
Until you are available I will wait in the wing.
After a quick bow, the might of Demacia beat a hasty retreat from the room.
Poppy's negotiations are not something to be interrupted.
The Prince's brows furrowed when Belle spoke of becoming a diplomat. "Are you sure? Your duties as a countess won't interfere?" He is having a hard time deciding what to do. "My answer isn't a no, but I will need some time to think it through. How about we meet tonight to discuss it?" He smiled as she told him not to worry about her. "You underestimate how dear you are to me, you simply being next to me is comforting. And I am the prince, I will worry about you if I want to." He chuckles a bit at this last statement.
The guard nods at Poppy. "Please enter the throne room to speak with him then." He walks to the doors and holds one open for her.
Jarvan nods at Garen while he speaks. He rolls his sore shoulders in an attempt to loosen them. "I can make some time for an old friend."
"Now Poppy, what is it you would like to discuss with me?"

Poppy bows slightly at Jarvan before walking to him, thinking for a mere moment before answering.
"Greetings Prince Jarvan. I have not come to talk politics luckily... since even I get bored of them as of late. However, I was hoping to exchange thoughts on recent events. Especially Noxus deciding to pull out of the League. It seems... odd, to say the least, doesn't it?"
The Prince's cheeks flush with anger at the mention of Noxus pulling from the League. "Odd." He repeats, the word feels wrong in his mouth. He clears his throat. "Not odd, more like cowardly. Noxians are a cowardly people ruled by a cowardly man. I feel sorry for those under Swain's tyranny." He unintentionally squeezes Belle's hand. "They pull their support from the League right when the situation got dangerous."
Jarvan shakes his head in disappointment. "One would think they have joined forces with the void with their timing. I should of struck down Swain when I had the chance."

Poppy nods at Jarvan at first, but seeing his anger she shakes her head.
"Prince Jarvan, I know of your hatred towards the "Grand General", but try not to let that cloud your judgement. You know that he is one of plans, one of trickery. There is some... ulterior motive for this certainly. He is preparing for something... something that the League would not allow. I am certain of this.
He is know as the Master Tactician for a reason, isn't he? I dislike Noxus just as much as most Demacians do, but blind hatred accomplishes nothing in these times, not against the kind of opponent as Swain poses."

Belle's eyebrows lifted lightly at the discussion between them. She would remain quiet as her place was not to speak no matter if she were courting Jarvan or not. Teal eyes slowly lowered to the hand that squeezed her own, lifting her free hand to rest lightly upon his to help sooth his frustration. She smiled warmly to the Prince, hoping to calm him down before returning her focus to Poppy. How interesting. She knew of Jarvan's hatred for Noxus, and understood it well. But her opinion on the matter was still very neutral.
When Belle placed her hand on Jarvan's own his cloud of anger cleared. He cleared his throat in an attempt to speak in a calmer tone. "Sorry, it is hard to not get overwhelmed with rage when speaking of these things. You can't help but hate those you have fought against. Seeing them not just kill but destroy your men. To be captured by them." At this last part he had a mild flashback of when he was taken as a prisoner of war. Metallic laughter forever embedded in the back of his mind. The prince rubs his face and shakes the feeling of dread off of him.
He nods towards Poppy. "Yes you are right, he is planning something the League won't allow. And when he unveils that plan we will be backed up by the League. It may be weakened but there are still many powerful summoners who will aid us."

Poppy nods at the prince, sighing.
"Indeed. The Institute's power should be enough to keep Noxus in line... but I can't find myself at peace about this. Someone of the tactical sense that Swain has shown to possess surely would have counted the League into their plans...
Like all those years ago when I had to see my father murdered by their assassins, Noxus is proving yet again that trust is something you cannot place in them. "
She then taps her chin a couple of times in thought.
"Hmm. Speaking of those assassins. I have a thought. Swain proclaimed dedication to peace during the meeting regarding the Arrow of Retribution... perhaps I can see how dedicated he truly is to his word. If Noxus's plans are towards peace, he should have no reason to hide a thing such as assassins who create dissent, not peace, correct?
Perhaps I will try and arrange a meeting with him and see if he is dedicated to peace... it would also possibly aid me in putting my past finally behind me... as long as those assassins are out there... the wounds will never close."
