Japanese Kanji Help please?

I recognised the first two kanji 頼呂 but having trouble with the third one. I thought it was 濮

But the sentence makes no sense. Can anyone help finding it?

    The first one is not 頼. It's 瀬.  There's a sanzui on the left.  頼 means to rely on something, but 瀬 means a shallow, a current or something like that.  The two are completely different kanjis. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%80%AC

    The third one is 様(さま).  It's an honorific used only for someone in very high status, such as a king (王様(おうさま)) and a queen (女王様(じょおうさま)), or for someone you must pay great respect to.  For example, a clerk may call a customer お客様 (おきゃくさま)). 

    瀬呂様 is Lord Sero or something like that.  It is sometimes translated simply as Mr. Sero, but 様(さま) is way politer than Mr and and is not very often used.
