The lieutenant pressed his binoculars to his eyes, carefully scanning the shore and woods for any sign of movement, knowing the high possibility of vampire emergence.
Maverick approached from behind. "Lieutenant, how is the situation?"
The lieutenant lowered his binoculars and turned to Maverick. "No movement, Lord Beecham."
Maverick nodded, unsurprised. "Then our plan is working. If no attack comes tonight, it likely means the vampires we chased off sent word, and the rest won't risk attacking. But let's keep the surveillance sharp regardless."
The lieutenant nodded in agreement. "Yes, Lord Beecham." They both raised their binoculars again, standing side by side, observing in silence.
After some time, the lieutenant said, "I have to ask, Lord Maverick," he began, hesitating slightly.
Maverick raised an eyebrow, still focused on the binoculars. "What is it, Lieutenant?"
