The samurai of ancient Japan could wear two swords, were the highest level of hierarchy, and could behead anyone they wanted to, just because they wanted to.
Of course, if a samurai happened to kill someone of high status, or especially their ruler, they would face challenges including being demoted in their status. Many samurai would commit seppuku if that were to happen, which is a ritual , honorable suicide for the ancient samurai. They would cut their abdomen open and be beheaded by an assistant.
Also, the samurai were very respected. Peasants looked up to them greatly.
