The war is almost over.

This was Durin's first feeling, and the cabinet, which had been busy with war and international issues, began to pick up domestic affairs again, which meant that the war was coming to an end.

This war has lasted for more than two months since the outbreak now, and during this time, the forces of the empire have been blocked in the third city chain of the Federation, and both sides have invested a large number of troops, so that the third city chain has become an urban meat grinder, and the brutal street fighting has caused the soldiers on both sides to splash on the land like fertilizer.

For the first time, the federation took the initiative to ask for armistice negotiations, and Mr. Keller, who had disappeared for more than half a year, began to appear frequently in the newspapers, and even participated in two political TV programs to discuss the war with other politicians.

All of this is a sign that this war has come to an end, and of course most ordinary people may not feel this way yet, they think that the war will continue, but in fact the war is ideologically over.

This is also directly related to the Imperial Army's inability to break through the Third City Chain, and if the Imperial Army can quickly break through the Third City Chain and fully invade the heart of the Federation, maybe the Empire will hold out for a while.

It's a pity that if you can't break through the third city chain, it will become pointless to continue fighting, and it's just a waste of military and financial resources in vain.

But then again, this war is won after all, and it will only be a good thing for the Empire, not a bad thing. The outcome of the war will inspire the whole society, and the Shining Star Empire is just around the corner to become an international superpower.

It was in such a general environment that Durin was "in love".

The object of his love is Mags's niece, one of Mags's own two children is finished, the other married very late, and the only child is still a boy, and Durin is not a base, and society and aristocrats will not allow men to go up, so he can only find a girl who is a little younger than Durin from his sister.

The choice of the Mags line was a decision made by Durin after a long period of consideration, and Princess Feliga was also in his consideration, after all, Her Excellency the Holy Maiden was powerful in the north. As the last Grand Duke, she has a position that is absolutely unimaginable to Doolin at present, and becoming a husband and wife with Princess Feliga can benefit Doolin a lot.

However, this choice also has a fatal flaw, that is, Her Excellency has many heirs, and Feliga is only one of them, she may not become the next generation of the family in the future, once she loses this opportunity, Durin will soon be "swallowed" by the family.

How much benefit he gets from here, these people will find a way to make him spit out the benefits exponentially and feed back to the family, which is also the main reason why a family can prosper for a long time.

On the contrary, it is Maggs's side that is eye-catching, as the prime minister of the empire, Mags himself does not run a large force, and his family is not huge. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Mags himself is synonymous with power, but this family is far less complex than other families, and Mags does not have a suitable successor to inherit the future of the family.

His favorite son died on the side of the road due to drunk driving, and the other child was more obedient but not good enough, and there was something in the family that all the nobles found difficult, and there was no one who could handle the next generation to carry the banner of the family.

Perhaps, but at least Maggs isn't showing it at the moment. At the same time, he has served as the leader of the New Party for more than 20 years, and has been re-elected as Prime Minister for four consecutive terms, and his intangible political assets are very rich, even stronger than His Excellency.

On top of that, Mags's political legacy made Doolin blush.

It is not that Maggs is dying, but that his political career is coming to an end, and he will definitely retire after this term. With the fact that he is now a member of the New Party and a relative of Maggs, it should not be too much of a problem to legitimately inherit most of his political legacy.

Durin was a very decisive man, and once he had made a decision, he immediately acted on it, and immediately became good friends with the girl after meeting his niece, and is growing towards a relationship that goes beyond friendship.

"I didn't expect your life to be so interesting when you were a child......", the girl held the guardrail on the edge of the flower bed with one hand, and slightly covered her smile with the other, so as not to let herself be too rude. The time with Durin always flies by quickly and happily, this guy is very likable, especially the little girl, he always says so humorous, and so gentlemanly, plus his own strong self-confidence that can overflow and infect others, is enough to make him an attractive person.

Du Lin knows how to become "good friends" with these little girls, just like commoners yearn for the life of nobles, many noble boys and girls occasionally yearn for the life of commoners, before being infected by fame and fortune, nobles and commoners are actually the same pure.

He glanced at the girl in the wind, her pale blonde hair stretched gracefully in the air with the wind, her fair skin was as lovely as porcelain, and the sun, which was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food and wanted to hide and lick her wounds, cast an angry afterglow and put on a beautiful coat for the girl. He reached out and stroked the girl's face as she looked at her surprised gaze.

There was a hint of tobacco in the girl's nose, and a masculine air that she couldn't describe, and she stopped smiling, and turned sideways a little shyly, but she didn't avoid Durin's palm.

It was a different taste from my father's, a completely different feeling.

The noisy wind suddenly became quiet, everything became wonderful, the air was filled with intoxicating fragrances, the heart in her chest was pounding and fluttering, and the girl's breathing gradually became a little short.

She has never been in a relationship, although she has always been pursued, and as Mags's niece (niece), she has carried many halos from birth, and many people want to be her boyfriend or even partner, and from then on get a chance to enter a new stage of life.

How to arrange her life in the future is not within her control, and sometimes she also thinks about what kind of husband the family will arrange for herself, most of the time it is a girl's pink and naïve fantasy, and it is often sweet. But she also understands that her vision for the future is not necessarily correct, she sometimes feels that her identity is a kind of imprisonment and a harm to herself, and she has no way to enjoy life like a girl from an ordinary family, enjoy the pursuit of others, and enjoy the love she chooses.

After waking up from a dream, you have to surrender to reality.

Until I met Doolin.

When she first saw Doolin, the girl was a little scared, because she saw something in Doolin's body that existed in her uncle Magus, which was a little breathless, and a look, a movement, and a casual expression could control a person's emotions.

This is a very powerful person, the girl thinks so, he may be very old-fashioned, life is also very boring, there is no mood, and there will be no sweet surprises. She didn't like the "blind date" that Maggs had arranged for her, and she hoped that this Mr. During would be able to break Mags and reject her, but she was destined to be disappointed.

After Durin said that he could be friends first, he took her out for a walk, and that walk made the girl's impression of Durin greatly changed, and it can even be said that it was full of surprises.
