Even though I am a native speaker of Korean, I can't specify the exact meaning of it. I think it has a somewhat story specific context. Though I'm not aware of the context, I think it can mean 'lion' as a symbol of the emperor. One thing I can tell you confidently is that it is not common to use the word '사자' such way.

      HK Lee nailed it. It's a Christian thing.



      The king is often considered 사자(使者) of God's message.



      So 사자 here means the divine right, literally translated to God's mandate.



      Reference to the Divine Right of Kings; that's known as 왕권신수설(王權神授說) in Korean.

        Understading homonyms always requires the context. In that webtoon, I guess the word is 사자(嗣子) which means one who perpetuates the lineage. It's like an heir, although 태자 and 황태자 are more commonly used to refer to an heir to the throne. 사자(嗣子) can also be found in Chapter 11 of an old novel, "운현궁의 봄", written by 김동인. This novel could be too difficult for language learners to read.



        For your information, 루블리스 카말루딘 샤나 카스티나 is described as 제국의 황태자.

                                      Understading homonyms always requires the context. In that webtoon, I guess the word is 사자(嗣子) which means one who perpetuates the lineage. It's like an heir, although 태자 and 황태자 are more commonly used to refer to an heir to the throne. 사자(嗣子) can also be found in Chapter 11 of an old novel, "운현궁의 봄", written by 김동인. This novel could be too difficult for language learners to read.



                                      For your information, 루블리스 카말루딘 샤나 카스티나 is described as 제국의 황태자.
