I didn't find any translation that matches the context, like "lion, envoy or emissary" since that sentence were used for an oath in front of the emperor. Or was it a lion as a symbol for the emperor?

And can you suggest a reference where i can learn these kind of words that commonly used in historical settings?

  Why don't you tell us a bit more about this scene? In particular, what was happening just before this scene? If hanja is not provided, all we can do is guess.

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.
