"obeyance" I think the word we're looking for here is "obesiance". obeisance o-bei-sance   /oʊˈbeɪsəns, oʊˈbi-/ Pronunciation [oh-bey-suhns, oh-bee-] –noun 1. a movement of the body expressing deep respect or deferential courtesy, as before a superior; a bow, curtsy, or other similar gesture. 2. deference or homage: The nobles gave obeisance to the new king.

Thanks for the English lesson. It’s been a long time between my schooling and now.
