Kentaro wasted no time and set off for the queen's palace that very evening. Being particularly fond of all sorts of gossip, he gladly accepted this espionage mission. He didn't bother with any sort of disguise to approach the palace, relying instead on his speed and agility to remain undetected. He could slip right under the guards' noses without being seen.
He had no fear of being attacked by the residents of the Golden Quarter, who assessed danger in others by their gaze. Kentaro's eyes radiated pure malice – no, something worse. From his jet-black eyes oozed the highest degree of cruelty, a feature of which he was deeply proud. While his eyes were off-putting enough to deter the interest of women, they were at least effective in warding off potential attackers.
