Here Frederick was, in a rather odd situation for someone from one of the darkest guilds in Fiore. Not that he wasn't accustomed to conceal himself into the shadows but the fact that he was watching over a man and making sure that he stayed alive was the oddity. Not one of the guilds most common jobs, because those mostly were assassinations instead of protecting a target.
But even protecting a target could prove to be beneficial, especially when it concerned a crooked politician. A young one at that, probably not older then thirty. But even with all that power he had at that young age he wasn't the one in control. No most of his decisions were heavily influenced by his wife, who played the man like a violin until she had to cut the strings if things got nasty. One of the traditional achilles heels of men, devious women.

So when she smelled there was something that endangered her position by assassinating her husband she sought out the members of The Reformed Savage Skull asking them to watch over her husband unknowingly and eradicate the assassins. And Frederick was happy to oblige, because having such a woman in their debts could prove to be useful later on.

Frederick looked down from the balcony where he could see the politician discussing something with his colleagues in the main hall. Any one of these people could be an assassin but till now he couldn't see anything suspicious. While scanning the hall further he could see his own colleague standing next to a pillar, also on the lookout for someone who could be targeting their client.
Frederick tapped the front of his cavalier hat that he wore as a disguise instead of his regular cloak to let Kira know that everything still looked normal from his point of view.
