Yeah, you are right, I may have counted lord Ensire's death a little too quickly.Well, it’s going to be a conflict for sure, but whether Lord Ensire got killed or the Persare family got purged is not known and not Bard’s business either (he’s just a traveler now).
I mostly agree with what @alacaelum said. It’s just the size of the respective armies and their loyalties are not known, so it’s not definite that Lord Ensire will lose. Ensire soldiers on the field seems to be loyal to him and he will be defending in a castle, that and as a ruling lord, if anything he has an advantage. Though if the Persare managed to amass a sizable army and hire many mercenaries then it could end up differently.
But his spouse's family clearly was planning this for some time, maybe even before their marriage, so the chances of them having amassed the needed firepower are big.
Even with him back and his man being loyal to him, things are still unstable, the people are worried there were things done to them, Ensire will need to reorganize his soldier and they(the soldiers) must still be feeling humiliated and with low morale after this shitshow.
And let's not forget... maybe Ensire doesn't even know about his wife's plan, if she played her cards right she can buy at least a few days without big suspicion, more than enough to warn her family and if she was smart enough to keep even more on the down low... when her family arrives she can help them infiltrate the castle, from there... well you can imagine most scenarios, they aren't difficult to come to.
