There wasn't a person in the kingdom who didn't know the Kingslayer Blade. The sword forged in the lava of Mount Chaos, a hilt of pure diamond, sharp despite centuries of existence. It was the symbol of the throne, as much a threat to others as it was to the Ruler. For if the Ruler ever became unjust, the Blade would be used to slay another King or Queen. Hence the name that all knew.
The man who held it now, no-one knew them. They were just a man. And after the deed was done, they returned to being that.
