Kordak felt that he must be crazy. Why did he speak? Why did he speak? Even he himself couldn't understand his behavior.
Does he like Lanmire? Kordak didn't know that he and Lanmir didn't get along for long, which was about half a month while he was recovering from his injuries. Lanmir was actually very careful in taking care of him at that time, so Kordak was also very moved by this senior priest's actions.
As for whether there are other feelings? Kordak couldn't tell clearly. To be honest, he didn't dislike Lanmire's character. Although this woman came from the famous Rodades family, she was also a high-ranking priest. But judging from his past behavior, Lanmire does not have the arrogance of a noble lady at all. Compared with the eldest lady, she pays more attention to her identity as a priest.
He is of noble birth, but has an easy-going and kind personality. Kordak was happy to make friends with such people. So during the period of recuperation, Kordak would always talk to Lanmir about everything. Kordak was very relaxed at that time, really relaxed.
Because when facing strangers, Kordak always has a deep sense of caution in his heart, and when facing Regnar, he has a lot of extra burdens and responsibilities. After all, he is the boss of this kid, and as the big brother, he must take good care of his little brother at all times. Moreover, this sense of responsibility is not only for Regnar, but also for Annelotte. As for Vera, she is the most important burden in Kordak's heart.
Since Silenos died, Kordak has always had to think about and face many problems alone. Although Vera has matured a lot in the following time, as a man, isn't it natural to block the woman he loves behind him? Therefore, Kordak feels that he has been tired of gaining.
Only when facing Lanmire could Kordak completely relax. This woman would always pester him during that period of time to ask him to do some weird things. And Kordak was happy to talk and brag with a beautiful woman during the period of recuperation. It can be said that the days when Kordak was recovering from his injuries were almost the most relaxing days for him.
Kordak was fascinated by this feeling of relaxation. Therefore, when he heard that Lanmir was about to go back to marry Kangjilas, Kordak always felt a sense of loss in his heart. This is also the reason why he is absent-minded.
Just let her go like this? She doesn't seem to be willing to marry Kangelas, right? I said that I would help her if she was in trouble. Do I want to break my promise? No, I, Kordak, will never break a promise, especially a promise to my good woman!
Therefore, Kordak finally spoke to stop it.
"Do you have anything else?" The guard was not dissatisfied with Kordak's sudden opening. He seemed to have expected Kordak to do this. The man put Lanmir, who had been struggling on his shoulders, on the ground, and then asked.
"I have a few questions for Lanmire," Kordak said.
"Excuse me." The guard seemed very talkative.
"Are you willing to marry Kangelas?" Kordak looked at Lanmir, who was panting due to strenuous exercise, and then asked his first question.
"If I was willing to marry him, why did I sneak away from my grandfather? And why did I risk my life to come to you? Did you know that I was almost killed by the Stoke on the road?" Lanmire said Her eyes turned red after all. Although she was twenty-six years old, her years of church life still left her with a certain innocence and fragility in her mind. Although this escape can be said to be a brave pursuit that Lanmir mustered up the courage after repeated considerations, there is actually a bit of willfulness like a little girl in it.
"..." Only then did Kordak understand that Lanmire had made such a great effort.
Kordak nodded, and then asked: "Then..."
"Don't ask me first, I want to ask you too!" Lanmir wiped his wet eyes with his dirty little hands, then stared at Kordak and asked: "You promised me before, and you still Does it count?”
"Which one are you talking about..." Kordak asked tentatively.
"Who else can there be? It's that one. Don't act stupid for me!" Lanmir screamed.
"..." Kordak hesitated.
If a beautiful woman who likes you disobeys the orders of her family and even risks her life, she comes to you and wants to seek your help and asylum. what will you do? I'm afraid even a man would stand up, right? What's more, Kordak once made a promise to her, didn't he
So, in the end, he nodded: "The things I promised before will naturally not be invalidated. Keep it in mind."
"Okay." Lanmir couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Kordak nodding. She really didn't know what she would do if Kordak continued to act stupid like this? That’s it! Just think that I, Lanmir, am blind and have seen the wrong person!
But looking at it now, Lan Mier's vision was indeed right. She smoothed her hair in front of her forehead and said, "I'm here to find you now. I don't want this marriage. Please help me!"
"Sister..." Kordak raised his hand to his forehead and said helplessly: "How do you ask me to help you? That's General Manhattan... Did you throw the words here and then kick me into the fire pit? You What you do is so irresponsible!"
"I...I don't care!" Lanmir also imitated Vera's example of being a little tempered. She blushed, and then said stiffly: "Anyway...you promised me anyway! I'll come to you, and you will You have to take responsibility and help me solve this matter! Otherwise... otherwise you will have broken your trust with me!"
"I broke my trust with you, what will happen?" Kordak rolled his eyes and said rather roguely.
"You!!!" Lanmir's eyes immediately turned red when she heard this. She glared at Kordak angrily, but her look was somewhat pitiful.
Kordak also found it very interesting to see Lanmir's appearance, but he was about to burst into tears. He didn't dare to make any more jokes. Kordak gave Lanmir a reassuring smile, then turned to look at the guard.
The smile on Kordak's face slowly faded, and then he said seriously: "I'm sorry, man, although you found Lanmir here, I can't let you take her away."
"Why?" The guard was still not angry. In fact, Kordak found that this guy was even more paralyzed than Annelotte at the time, and it seemed that nothing could cause him to fluctuate emotionally.
"Because she didn't want to leave," Kordak said, "and I also promised her that if she encounters a similar situation, I will help her, that's all."
"Mr. Kordak." The guard's tone finally took on a threatening tone. 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 extremely firmly: "But even so, I can't let you take her away. I made a promise to her, so I will do it." To. This is the basic rule of being a man, and I think I am a man first and a soldier second."
"For this ridiculous code of yours, do you even have to disobey General Manhattan's order?" The guard then asked: "You should know the consequences of disobeying military orders. The best result for you is to be dismissed and investigated. If not, go to the military The courts are not out of the question.”
"..." Kordak was silent. If he said he didn't have any hesitation or wavering in his heart, it would be impossible. But when he saw Lanmir looking at him eagerly, Kordak's heart changed again. Soft. When she was injured, she took care of herself so wholeheartedly. Even if it was just this favor, he, Kordak, would have to repay it, right
Thinking of this, Kordak finally made up his mind. He nodded to the guard: "Yes, no matter what the consequences, I will bear it. You can tell General Manhattan exactly what I said. I, Kordak, am willing to take all responsibility for this."
"So, I can't take away Miss Lanmere today no matter what?" The guard's eyes turned cold, and he seemed to have the idea of taking her by force.
"Yes, no matter what." Kordak showed no sign of weakness.
“…”
The atmosphere turned cold at this moment, and Lanmire couldn't help but froze when he heard the conversation between the two people. In fact, Manhattan has always played the role of a very kind old man in front of Lanmire. He would never reprimand Lanmire, let alone punish him.
But she forgot that Manhattan also had the identity of an imperial marshal. It was not until this moment that Lanmire realized that Kordak 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 kidnap her to Kangelas. But when things got to this point, Lanmire finally realized that Kordak had risked his official position and even his life to fulfill his promise. Thinking of this, Lanmir felt a little more moved. I, Lanmir, did not see the wrong person!
Although Kordak's performance at this time made Lanmir's feelings for him deeper. But she also understood that at this time it was better to keep the big deal down. So Lanmir moved forward, ready to say something.
But before Lanmir could speak, the guard spoke first. Surprisingly, this guy nodded readily, and then said, "I understand, then, Miss Lanmere will be left to you."
This sudden change of attitude stunned both Kordak and Lanmire. They didn't expect the guard to suddenly become so talkative.
But before they could say anything, the guard waved and left with his men. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kordak always felt that the guard gave him an imperceptible smile when he left. It seems that the conspiracy succeeded? Or is it relief? Anyway, this smile left Kordak confused...
"Then... that..." Lanmir hesitated and didn't know what to say, so after holding it in for a long time, she could only say: "Thank you..."
"Are you satisfied?" Kordak said angrily. He turned around and saw Lanmir's gray-haired and embarrassed look.
For some reason, Kordak suddenly felt soft. He hesitated, then stepped forward and hugged Lanmire gently: "Okay, leave this matter to me, and you don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Well..." Lan Mier's eyes became inexplicably moist when he heard this. In order to avoid a more embarrassing scene, Lan Mierzhi said: "Where is Vera?"
"I asked that woman to go find Regnar. She has something to do." Kordak replied.
"Regna?" Lanmir couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "I saw him on the southern battlefield two days ago! He was not with Vera!"
