Rhys wasn't given a stealth mission and was given free reign by Ayesha himself. He could do whatever he wanted, as long as he completed his mission — even discretion was optional.
If he was treated as a Lowborn, it was no problem at all; he could just lower his head and go on his mission. After all, most Lowborns go about their entire lives only looking at the ground, he just garnered more attention than the others because of his height.
What he did not expect, however, was his instinct he had learned during his time training in the Underworld Corps to fail him.
He had been trained to eliminate all threats as soon as they showed any signs of actually being a threat — and pointing a fireball at him was a threat not only to him but also to the other people in the entire eatery; not to mention the small restaurant was made entirely by untreated dry wood, this place will burn up in seconds.
