Capítulo 569: The Riddles      

Ren was at least glad that it was just a simple game of riddles and nothing too complicated. But still . . . a riddle was a quick and swift way to eliminate them, and one wrong answer was one way closer to their captivity.

"Are you ready?" The White Queen asked.

Ren nodded, and Elena swallowed hard.

"Ace of Heart; King of Diamonds; and Queen of Clubs."

"Correct."
