The thin king and the fat king has a problem. Thin king want to pass a gift to fat king but his messenger is not trustworthy. He has previously tried to pass his gift in an unlocked chest but the chest has so far been empty on arrival. The kings decide to padlock the chest so that the messenger can not steal it contents.
Now the kings have a problem, how can the fat king open the chest without thin king passing along the key to the padlock?
Thin king who is rather smart comes up with a working solution. How do they do it?
Update: A clue to the puzzle. Fat king may have a padlock of his own.
Solution: See the post Sharing a secret

Are black smiths at this time able to make a copy of a key?
I think they are ;)
Do they glue the key onto the messenger's back and handcuff him to the chest's handles? Or does the thin king fire the flaming thief and send it by medieval dhl?

I will fix this. Thanks for the tip.
About the puzzle. I don't think thin king's messenger is cooperative wearing handcuffs and the messenger is all he has, no medieval DHL ;)
I will add a clue on the original post.
