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?

Honestly, I think the so-called context is pretty obvious in this picture.사자에게 영광을is a common phrase in a fiction like this so it's not hard to get what it really means. Hanja is convenient sometimes but that doesn't mean that you need it in Korean. This is good enough question therefore.

@Coconut I don't agree that it is 使者; Klmo's answer is more convincing. The divine right of kings, in a European cultural context, never described Kings as messengers; the divine messengers are confined to biblical angels.

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.
