The God of Wealth: Her Top Game of Thrones

Chapter 1220 The Queen's Praise

However, upon hearing this, Queen Elizabeth suddenly laughed, her laughter steady and relaxed, and gently clapped for Tang Tang, saying, "May I call you by your name, girl?"

Tang Tang nodded, "Of course, Your Majesty."

“Nikletta,” Queen Elizabeth looked at her approvingly, “I like your ambition, and I admire ambitious people.”

Tang Tang was now looking directly at Queen Elizabeth, who was sitting in front of her. She was not dressed particularly luxuriously, but was wearing a dark red knitted sweater dress.

She wore an extremely bright pearl necklace, and her hair was meticulously combed, a mix of white and silver-gray, making her look exceptionally refined.

Queen Elizabeth is 55 years old this year. Her face has the clear features that only a ruler would have when he first came to power. Her face is rather thin, with a pair of deep and gentle eyes.

“I know you and Kelly are doing some small business, that’s good, Nikolayta,” Queen Elizabeth said in a steady and powerful voice. “Kelly is one of my favorite children. She is very smart, but sometimes a little naive.”

Queen Elizabeth's experience gave her a keen eye. Tang Tang made almost no attempt to hide anything from the outside world, so the Queen was already aware of the several companies behind her, as well as the now-famous Mercenary Island.

Mercenary company.

Queen Elizabeth looked at Tang Tang with a restrained scrutiny in her eyes.

She said, "To be honest, I was quite surprised when I learned that Kelly had made new friends."

"Later, when I learned that... you also owned a mysterious mercenary base, I became even more curious, Nikolayta."

In fact, it wasn't just Queen Elizabeth who was curious; most people who were interested in Tang Tang were shocked when they learned that what was behind Tang Tang wasn't capital or a family... but actually a mercenary base.

This is the biggest mystery surrounding Tang Tang. Many people simply cannot understand or imagine how a socialite from high society could get involved with a mercenary base full of outlaws.

Damn it.

It's important to know that mercenary bases are not exactly good places to go, but the Blackwater mercenary base, which has a relatively good reputation, is much more well-established than other mercenary bases, yet the number of deaths each year is still quite high.

In the minds of most "upper-class people," elegance, wealth, nobility, and respectability... playing golf, going on beach vacations, and tasting wines at wineries are the lifestyles that should be associated with the upper class.

Even though everyone knows that behind these lives might lie the exploitation of capital, massive financial fraud, violent conflicts involving criminal elements, or unjust hegemonic sanctions...

However, everyone agreed that no one should shatter this illusion of peace and prosperity, and that everyone should maintain a unified sense of dignity.

Even though many people know that this is actually a form of hypocrisy, they still continue to maintain it.

However, the existence of the mercenary base behind Tang Tang cast a shadow over her perfect image as an elegant socialite.

What socialite or heiress wouldn't be riding horses, partying, attending fashion week... instead of running a dangerous and violent mercenary base behind the scenes!

This is so strange!

It seems neither elegant nor ladylike.

But Tang Tang never intended to hide it, never intended to correct it, and never intended to truly integrate herself into the group.

She looked at Queen Elizabeth and nodded decisively, her tone calm, confident, and composed. "I love my mercenary base; it makes me feel very safe."

When Queen Elizabeth asked curiously whether the mercenary base was a gift from her elders (specifically her godfather) or something she had built herself, Tang Tang answered without hesitation,

“It belongs only to me, Your Majesty the Queen. It is a sword that belongs to me alone.”

As for how it was set up, don't worry about it. The system's points belong to her, and the points she worked so hard to earn shouldn't be considered hers.

The system coaxed her.

Yes, they're all yours!

Queen Elizabeth's deep gaze fell on Tang Tang, and she sighed slightly, saying with some emotion, "You know, Nikolaya, seeing you reminds me of my youth."

Queen Elizabeth favored Kelly the most because she was the smartest, most hardworking, and most like Queen Elizabeth of all her granddaughters.

However, Kelly has been pampered by the royal family since birth. She grew up in luxury and, although she has more wisdom and knowledge than her peers under the guidance of various famous teachers, she is still too naive.

Queen Elizabeth's accession to the throne was due to an accident. She was forced to ascend the throne at the age of 16, becoming a queen in name only, and was arranged to marry a man she completely disliked in order to consolidate the power of her faction of ministers and amass wealth.

The noble queen is a luxury item.

Queen Elizabeth I learned to be hypocritical, to plan ahead, to be adept at navigating complex situations, and to deliver a fatal blow only after suffering many setbacks.

It wasn't until she was 24 years old, and had already given birth to four children, that she spent a full eight years killing her damned husband and two lovers, taking control of the army, and becoming the true queen.

She had no interest in recalling those eight nauseating years of life, after which, two years into her control of the army, all four of Queen Elizabeth's children died unexpectedly.

Two of them had genetic diseases; one fell into a lake, and the other fell down the stairs.

Many people speculated that the Queen had ordered the attack, but no one dared to speak up... After all, they couldn't defeat the ministers, and the Queen had killed almost all of them.

Queen Elizabeth was a monarch who had risen from the ashes after suffering hardships, so she admired Kelly's intelligence and dexterity, but also lamented her naiveté.

It wasn't until Queen Elizabeth saw Tang Tang in person that she was surprised to find that, compared to Kelly, there was another girl here who looked more like her when she was young.

Kelly also has ambition, but her ambition is not strong enough, and her ambition is not burning bright enough. She is like a sapling that has not yet found its direction to grow.

But Nikolaya was different. Her ambition was so intense it almost shone. Her expression, her demeanor, her words, everything about her clearly showed everyone that she wanted to win, and to win big.

But what exactly does she want to achieve, and what does she want to gain? Queen Elizabeth looked at Tang Tang and was surprised to find that she couldn't guess either.

"I'm so glad Kelly has you as a friend," Queen Elizabeth said, looking at Tang Tang and gently placing the ring in Tang Tang's palm. "It's also a pleasure to meet you, Nicholas. Please come visit Buckingham Palace sometime. I think Kelly would be delighted to meet you."
