A nice riddle. Contains some thoughtful value statements . I enjoyed it. Thanks.
too true.
That was a good riddle, it made you think
Good teaser, but I can't say I agree with the hint.
Good teaser. I thought it was a heart until I read the hint, then I figured it out. Thanks
Good teaser, too true is right.
Very promising teaser.
Easy but thought provoking. Thanks for posting.
I got it, I got it, I got it!!!!
Great teaser, if a bit on the easy side. I knew it instantly, with no 2nd guessing. Loved it !
I kept trying to make it "heart" also, but I couldn't come up with "promise."
Good Teaser!
Good Teaser!
Neat!! Easy, but I liked it.
Your hint is actually the same as an answer it's so obvious.
Well that was an easy one! Okay though as easy is just as fun and makes me smile!
i got tht on my first try
I don't often get riddles, so I was happy to get this one w/o looking at the hint! First two lines I started with 'hug', then 'smile'. Once I hit the word 'break', 'Promise' canceled the search for answers!
Well, well, well ... (deep subject, eh??) ..

nice easy teaser
nice easy teaser
Enjoyable but easy.
Easy-peasy. Cute.
I guessed "trust". It is one of those riddles which fits multiple answers: love, honesty, value, etc. But, I have to say that "promise" sounds promising
Got this one right away, excellent clues in the riddle.
Fun and enjoyable teaser; I got it with the hint.
I guessed vow, basically the same thing
Easy teasy, which in this case just means clear clues, not simple clues. This shows that riddles don't have to rhyme to work. I like that too.
Can a King make promises as easily as anyone else? A dishonorable man (king or otherwise) can make all the promises they want. I would think a King would need to protect their honor , meaning promises made must be kept, so promises must be well considered before being offered.
I disagree with the hint. I hope there is still honor in the world.

Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. This time I got it very quickly and did not need the hint.
I thought it was a gift, but I did not read the hint. This one is very thoughtful.
