Maverick's Pursuer

Julius lounged comfortably in his workroom, his legs propped up on the polished mahogany desk.

A playful smile tugged at his lips as he lazily scanned a report in his hand, clearly enjoying the leisurely pace of his day. The room was bathed in the soft glow of morning light, filtering through the tall windows, casting a warm ambiance that only added to Julius's relaxed mood.

A knock at the door disrupted the tranquility. Without lowering the report, Julius called out, "Come in."

The door creaked open, and a man stepped inside, his presence immediately commanding attention. He was dressed in a pristine white uniform, adorned with gold trim, and three badges gleamed proudly on his left chest.

His long black hair was neatly tied back, and a gold single-lensed monocle rested over his right eye, giving him an air of sharp intellect and authority. This was Ardent Pitt, Julius's cousin and trusted adviser to the prince.
