What does "come what may" mean? Can I use "come what may" in daily conversation? Is this expression used in general?

"Come what may" is a formal way of saying "regardless of what happens" or "whatever happens." The speaker has used this expression to express that no matter what happens, he will still fool himself into believing that his love will return to him. Ex: Come what may, I have made a promise to never betray my country. In casual conversation, we can use the expressions "regardless of/no matter what happens" or "whatever happens." Ex: No matter what happens, I will always support you.
