perhaps it wasn’t the smartest idea , to go for a walk in the park with no umbrella && his carriage dismissed . Nikolai realised his mistake the moment grey skies turned even darker && within moments released what seemed like a month’s worth of rain upon him . English weather was truly a remarkable thing . remarkably miserable . it was in this sorry state that he made his way to the closest residence that he was familiar with . drenched && shivering , he makes for a pitiful sight . not at all princely .
but he calls at the Bridgerton estate anyway , the doorman giving him a rather displeased once - over before disappearing into the house . evidently , Nikolai looked enough like a drowned dog to not even be allowed inside .
