The ritual would happen in a 'sacred place' far from the city, and Nikolai had to visit it beforehand. So, he left the mansion and looked around for a carriage that belonged to the royal family. Nikolai found a few waiting beside the stables.
"Hey, I want a carriage to take me somewhere outside the city," Nikolai found a group of people working inside, either repairing their carriages or cleaning them.
"These are carriages belong to the Rosian Royal Family, not your bestial race," one of the drivers sneered as he looked at Nikolai. "Even if you try to hide your head, I can tell you're a beastman with a glance."
"Calm down, detective of the century," Nikolai took out the badge and showed it to them. "I am a human, and I carry the badge of the royal family."
"I... have never seen you here," the man stared at the badge with wide eyes. "We'll need to ask her highness for permission before we allow you to take one of the carriages."
