Rais grinned. He supposed his men's reaction was justified, they were in hostile territory after all. But this was too good an opportunity to pass up. While the royals and their retainers were busy defending their precious castle, they could make off with a ton of loot, and if he was lucky maybe even come into conflict with either side and maybe pick up some new additions to his "collection." Yes, this was a dangerous, risky situation but that was what made it so much fun. "Quit your shaking ya babies! we're going to be rich after this score!" There was nothing that could've possibly made this any more enticing for him. 

Rais and his men turned the next corner expecting to find their way into the castle, but instead of coming face to face with two girls one bleeding out, an older man, and a younger boy. The grin on his face threatened to tear it off. Gems, tapestry, silks, and gold was all nice and profitable but nothing was more profitable than royal hostages. "Hey there. How's are you folks?"
