swear fealty

文脈からも明らかなようにfealtyは「忠誠」という意味ですが、LDOCEが"loyalty to a king, queen, etc"と定義しているように、とても古風なことばです。時代に逆行するあの国にはピッタリです。（UG）

Kim Jong-un's Aunt Now Missing From Photo

North Korea's military and political elite lined up in formation to swear fealty to its leader Kim Jong-un today as observers studied the position of top aides to see who survived the recent purge of Kim's uncle.

Kim's paternal aunt Kim Kyong-hui was not present at any of the events after her husband Jang Song-thaek, known to have been North Korea's second most powerful man, was suddenly purged and executed last week.

The aunt was reportedly in favor of her husband's ouster from the government. Jang has been charged of alleged drug abuse, womanizing, and treason by attempting to create his own powerbase within the regime.
