Before Talia returned, another force came to the Keep, led by King Luther. There were now forces of many species surrounding the keep. Luther made his way up to Layla and Kurt and several men were talking as well.
He had enough men to surround it himself without them. The attack must have happened so suddenly that they weren't prepared enough at the outset.
The King garnered attention from the goblins and Minotaurs around. Them. The rest of the Valentine clan were a bit on edge. This was the first time most of them had ever encountered a goblin or a Minotaur. Working together would be difficult.
King Luther wasn't putting out a look that he was particularly bothered by any of them. He would have been most informed about what Kurt had at his disposal.
"So the situation is you waiting on us?" Luther said.
"Yes," said Kurt, "and may I introduce Princess Layla?" The King nodded towards her.
"I wish it were under better circumstances," said Luther.
