Goliath is a guard. He never guarded a queen before. He won't leave her unless instructed.

I'm not sure where guards could fit in at this point in the plot other than if they talked amongst themselves. It's unlikely they'd have anyone to fight around the queen at the moment, but you could have in your post that they were ordered to stand watch outside the dinning hall and something happens.
