b: obligated to render feudal allegiance and service
Liege is the correct answer
yeah this feels most correct
Ward and charge refer to someone subservient to YOU
liege lord, lord, feudal lord, seigneur, suzerain, overlord, master, chief, chieftain, superior, monarch, sovereign, baron, ruler
or just employer
Fucked.
It depends what they asked me to call them really. Other have provided useful answers but honestly I think it depends on your relationship to them.
Hmm. Patron feels right, but that might get confusing with warlock. I think @pleasejustdie is right with /liege/. Maybe that or just lord/lady you've sworn allegiance to.
