discord.py Check content of embed title

Question

What I'm trying to do: I am making a riddle command with my discord.py bot. Every time someone runs the command for a new riddle, it removes the most recent message pinned (the author of said message being the bot) and pins the new message. I am trying to make the bot look for a certain keyword in an embed's title, rather than relying on whether the pinned message was sent by the bot or not.

Problem: I have not found a way to check the content of an embed title. The only question I found that was mostly related to my question was for an on_message() event, but I wasn't very sure how to incorporate it.

Code:

@client.command(aliases=["riddle"],pass_context=True)
@commands.guild_only()
@has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def rid(ctx, prize=None, *, rid=None):
    if prize == None and rid == None:
        await ctx.send('Format: `bl!riddle "cool prize" Sometimes it\'s brown and sticky, what is it?`')
    elif prize is not None and rid == None:
        await ctx.send('Format: `bl!riddle "a nice prize" Fluffy like candy but not a cloud, what am I?`')
    elif prize is not None and rid is not None:
        embed = discord.Embed(title, "Today's Riddle: ", description=rid, color=0x8d78d9) # The embed title the bot would read
        embed.set_footer(text=f"Prize: {prize} | Host: {ctx.message.author}")
        try:
            await ctx.message.delete()
        except:
            pass
        pinner = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        channel = ctx.channel
        pins = await channel.pins()
        x = 1
        while x is not 0:
            for message in pins:
                if message.author.id == 733237477170741280: # this is what I want to replace              
                    await message.unpin()
                    x = x - 1
                else:
                    continue
                if x == 0:
                    break
        await pinner.pin()

This is what the embed looks like.

discord.Embed object has attributes title and description. With these, you can access the content of an embed.

@client.command(aliases=["riddle"],pass_context=True)
@commands.guild_only()
@has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def rid(ctx, prize=None, *, rid=None):
    if prize == None and rid == None:
        await ctx.send('Format: `bl!riddle "cool prize" Sometimes it\'s brown and sticky, what is it?`')
    elif prize is not None and rid == None:
        await ctx.send('Format: `bl!riddle "a nice prize" Fluffy like candy but not a cloud, what am I?`')
    elif prize is not None and rid is not None:
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Today's Riddle: ", description=rid, color=0x8d78d9)
        embed.set_footer(text=f"Prize: {prize} | Host: {ctx.message.author}")
        embed_title = embed.title
        embed_desc = embed.description
        ...

EDIT

In order to get the embed object from a message, you can use message.embeds. This will return you a list of embeds that the message has.
