Riddle No. 14

[Carl]

Many call me The Man with the Axe
But I'm not a violent man
I am the ruler (though some challenge the facts)
of a minor, yet important, clan.

I am not a sailor at sea on a ship,
yet a deck is where I can be found.
People say I am a girl's best friend,
but not when my Queen is around !

I am usually seen on a Bicycle's front,
but I can neither peddle nor steer.
I become even stronger if I am named Trump.

Have I made my identity clear ?


Answer will be provided next Thursday evening after 21:00.

King of Diamonds

[Carl]

ANSWER

I am the King of Diamonds in a standard deck of playing cards.

In case of any questions...

The King of Diamonds holds a large axe over his shoulder.
Some may argue that an Ace is the top rank of a suit.
In bridge, clubs and diamonds are minor suits.
There is a cliche, Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend
Bicycle is a popular brand of playing card
In bridge, the trump suit beats any card from other suits
