I never interpreted driving the sword into your chest as actually killing yourself, because the previous Seneschal pulls it out of his chest to give it to you.

My reasoning is that, on the first playthrough, Savan is the Seneschal, he pulls Godsbane out of his chest and gives it to you, you stab him and then impale yourself. Then, when you finish NG+, your previous Arisen is the Seneschal, he pulls the Godsbane out of his chest and hands it to you, so you can stab him and impale yourself on it and repeat the process.
