One word does the job of Your Honour, Your Grace, Your Majesty and Your Lordship, which saves Esperanto from importing a whole cabinet of English and French honorifics. If the rank matters, put it in front as an adjective: a , princa , episkopa . It is high in the frequency list only because the classic corpus is stuffed with kings and counts; in modern speech you will meet it in ceremony and period fiction and almost nowhere else, so do not sprinkle it on your emails.
