Proof of Loyalty is a weapon in SINoALICE.

Weapon Story
A young man visited the royal palace, hoping to help a good king who feared a barbarian invasion. The pureness of the man's intentions so moved the king that he knighted the peasant and gave him his own sword. In turn, the knight was humbled by such honor and swore to repay the favor, no matter the cost.

Time and time again, the barbarians attacked the royal palace. Each time, the man would stand at the front of the army and brandish the sword gifted to him. So it was that he drove away the barbarians, and in time he earned fame both at home and abroad.

The young man became known among the people as the "Hero of Salvation," claiming fame and recognition for his acts. The other vassals gradually accepted them as one of their own, and soon he was regarded as second in importance only to the king himself.

One day, the king summoned the young man and handed him a cup of poison. "This country has no need for two leaders. You understand, don't you?" The young man understood immediately. He had become the object of the king's jealousy and hindered his ability to rule. "Yes, Your Majesty," he said. "For the strength of the nation!" He then gulped the poison down and ended his life.
