Chapter 6: A Man's Promise
Cordak thought he must be crazy, why did he speak? Why did he speak? Even he himself could not understand his own actions.
Does he like Ranmir? Kordaq didn't know, in fact, he and Ranmir didn't get along for long, that is, about half a month after recuperating from his injury. At that time, Lammeer was actually quite attentive to his care, so Kordak was also very touched by the approach of this high-ranking priest.
As for the other feelings, Kordak couldn't tell, but to be honest, he didn't hate Ranmir's character. Although this woman was from the famous family of Rodrades, she was also a high-ranking priest. But judging from his past demeanor, Ranmir did not have the arrogance of the aristocratic lady at all. Compared with the eldest lady, she pays more attention to her status as a priest.
Noble birth, but easy-going and kind-hearted. Kordaq would love to make friends with such people. So during the period of recuperation, Kordaq would always say something to Ranmir. Kordak was relaxed at that time, really relaxed.
Because when facing strangers, Cordak always has a deep layer of vigilance in his heart, and when facing Regner, he has a lot of burden and responsibility. After all, he is the eldest of this kid, and as a big brother, he has to take good care of his little brother at all times. Moreover, this sense of responsibility is not only for Regner, but also for Anne Lot. As for Vera, she is the most important burden in Kordak's heart.
Ever since Selenos' death, Kordak has always had to think about and face many problems alone. Although Vera has matured a lot in the time since, as a man, isn't it natural for him to keep the woman he loves behind?
It was only when he faced Lammere that Kordaq was able to relax completely. This woman would always pester him during that time and make him do some strange things. And Kordak was also happy to open up the conversation and brag with a beautiful woman during the time he was recuperating. It can be said that the days when Cordak was recuperating from his injury were almost the most relaxing days for him.
This feeling of relaxation fascinated Kordak. So, when he heard that Ranmir was about to go back and marry Kangiras, Kordaq always had a feeling of loss in his heart. This is also the reason why he is absent-minded.
Do you just let her go? She doesn't seem to want to marry Kangiras, does she? I told her that she would help her if she was in trouble, and that she would break her promise? No, I, Kordaq, would never break my promise, especially a good woman to me!
So, Kordak finally spoke up to stop it.
"Is there anything else you can do?" the guard was not upset by Kordak's sudden opening, he seemed to have expected Kordak to do so. The man asked as he placed Ranmir, who had been struggling on his shoulder, on the ground.
"I have a few questions for Ranmir. Kordak said.
"Please. "The guard seemed very talkative.
"Will you marry Congillas?" said Kordak, looking at Ranmir, who was wheezing from the exertion, and asked his first question.
"If I am willing to marry him, why did I sneak away from my grandfather, and why did I run to you at the risk? I was almost killed by the Stokers on the way, you know?" said Ranmere's eyes turned red after all, although she was twenty-six years old, but her perennial church life still kept her mind a little simple and fragile. Although this escape can be said to be a brave pursuit that Rammeer mustered up courage after repeated consideration, it actually has a bit of little girl-like willfulness in it.
......It was only at this time that Kordaq understood that Ranmir had made such a great effort.
Kordak nodded, then asked, "What about ......?"
"Don't ask me yet, I'll ask you too!" Ranmir wiped his moist eyes with his dirty little hands, then stared at Kordaq and asked, "You promised me before, does it still count?"
"Which one do you say......" Cordak asked tentatively.
"There's one more, it's that one, don't play stupid for me!" Ranmir screamed.
"......" Kordaq hesitated.
If a beautiful woman who likes you disobeys the orders of her family and even risks her life to come to you and seek your help and shelter. What would you do? I'm afraid a man would stand up, wouldn't he? Besides, Cordak had made a promise to her, didn't he?
Therefore, in the end, he nodded: "The things I promised before will naturally not be invalidated, make a number." ”
"That's good. Ranmir couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Kordak nod. She really didn't know what she was going to do if Kordaq was going to play stupid like that again? That's it!
But now, her Lanmir's vision is really right. She pulled the hair on her forehead, and then said, "I'm coming to you now, I don't want this family business, you come to help me!"
"Big sister......" Cordak increased his forehead with his hand, and said helplessly: "How can you let me help you, that's the Manhattan general...... You threw the words here and kicked me into the fire pit? How irresponsible you are!"
"I ...... I don't care!" Ranmir also imitated Vera's pettiness, she blushed, and then said stiffly, "Anti...... Anyway, you promised me! I'll come to you, and you'll be responsible for helping me solve this matter! Otherwise, ...... Otherwise, you're breaking my promise!"
"What will happen if I break my trust with you?" said Kordak, rolling his eyes.
"You !!" Lammeer's eyes immediately turned red again when she heard this, and she glared at Kordak in annoyance, but it looked a little pitiful no matter how she looked.
Kordaq was also very amused to see Ranmir's appearance, but he was about to cry when he saw that Ranmir was about to burst into tears. Not daring to make any more jokes, Kordaq gave Lammere a reassuring smile before turning to look at the guard.
The smile on Kordak's face slowly receded, and he said seriously, "I'm sorry, man, although you found Lammere here, I can't let you take her away." ”
"Why?" the guards were still not angry, in fact, Kordaq found that the guy was even more paralyzed than Annelot, as if nothing could cause him to have mood swings.
"Because she doesn't want to go. "And I promised her that I would help her if she was in a similar situation, and that's it," Kordaq said. ”
"Mr. Kordak. The guard's tone finally took on a threatening tone, and he took a few steps towards Kordak, and then whispered, "Do you know whose will you are disobeying?"
"I know, General Manhattan. Kordak nodded, and then said very firmly: "But even so, I can't let you take her away, I promised her, then I have to do it." That's the basic principle of being a man, and I think I'm a man first and a soldier second. ”
"Do you even have to disobey the Manhattan General's orders for the sake of your ridiculous rules?" the guard then pressed, "You should know what happens if you disobey military orders, your best outcome is to be dismissed and investigated, and if you are not impossible, it is not impossible to go to court-martial." ”
"......" Kordak was silent, if there was no hesitation and wavering in his heart, it would be impossible at all, but when he saw Ranmir's eyes staring at him again, Kordak's heart softened again. When she was injured, she did her best to take care of herself, even if it was just this favor, he Koldak had to pay it back, right?
Thinking of this, Kordak finally made up his mind. He nodded at the guards: "Yes, no matter what the consequences, I will bear them." You can tell General Manhattan exactly what I say. I, Kordak, am willing to take all responsibility for this. ”
"So, I can't take Miss Lammere with me today anyway?" the guard's eyes froze, and it seemed that he had the idea of robbing him.
"Yes, anyway. "Kordak showed no signs of weakness.
“......”
The atmosphere became cold at this moment, and Lammere couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the conversation between the two people. In fact, Manhattan has always played a very kind old man image in front of Lammere. He never scolded Ranmir, let alone punished anything like that.
But she forgot that Manhattan also had the identity of an imperial marshal, and it was only at this time that Lammeer understood that Kordaq was not facing his grandfather at this time, but Manhattan, the supreme commander of the imperial military. But even so, Kordak stood up without hesitation.
She came out this time just to test Kordak's attitude, after all, if she refused, Manhattan might not necessarily tie her up to Congeras. But things got to this point, and Ranmir finally realized that Kordak had risked his official position and even his life to fulfill his promise. Thinking of this, Lanmir was a little more moved in his heart. I, Lammere, didn't look at the wrong person!
Although because of Kordak's performance at this time, Lanmeer's feelings for him deepened. But she also understands that at this time, it is better to make a big thing small. So Ranmir leaned forward, ready to say something.
But before Ranmir could speak, the guards spoke first. Surprisingly, this guy nodded happily, and then said, "I understand, then, Miss Ranmir will be handed over to you." ”
This sudden change of attitude stunned both Kordak and Ranmere. They didn't expect the guards to suddenly become so talkative.
But before they could say anything, the guard waved his hand and left with his men. I don't know if it's an illusion, Kordaq always felt that the guard showed him an imperceptible smile as he left. Seems to have succeeded in the conspiracy? Or is it relieved? In short, the smile confused Kordak......
"That'...... That ......" Lanmir didn't know what to say, so she held back for a long time, and she could only say: "Thank you......"
"Satisfied?" said Kordak, angrily, turning his head, and then saw Ranmir's grizzled face.
I don't know why, Kordaq suddenly softened in his heart, he hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward and hugged Lammere gently: "Okay, leave this matter to me, you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”
"Hmm......" Lammeer's eyes moistened inexplicably when he heard this. To avoid a more embarrassing scene, Ranmir said, "What about Vera?"
"I told the mother-in-law to go to Regner, she had something to do. Kordaq replied.
"Regner?" Lammere couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "I saw him in this southern battlefield two days ago!
