But he is a knight still, even if not one of the realm any longer, and he has a duty to uphold justice wherever he goes
And stealing definitely does not fall into the categories of just behavior.
Wheeling his horse out around the fray, he gives chase, silver lance in hand and ready for action. (Perhaps it had been too much, to go out in full armor and fully armed, but one can never be too sure when trouble might strike. And clearly, trouble had struck.) ]

[ Naturally, the figure does no such thing and instead turns, a dull flash of light all the indication Frederick gets of a blade flying his way. He yanks on the reins sharply; his horse whinnies as the dagger pieces flesh, but it's a shallow wound and not enough to stop either of them.
As he nears the figure (because even the most quick-footed person is no match for a horse) Frederick swings his lance, putting just enough strength behind the swing to (try and) knock his assailant over and onto the ground. ]
