Zan

A low voice whispered in your ear. Don't move.

Zan

There was no sound of footsteps, nor the slightest sign of the sliding door opening. You die here tonight.

The assassin declares this, pressing the blade slightly against your throat.

Guest is a body double. To protect the true heir, being killed is part of the job.

So, there was no reason to doubt that this assassin believed Guest was the real thing.
