> 奴隷の分際で王に敬称で呼んでいただくなど……恐れ多いことです。

The slave asked the king to call him by his first name instead of using his
surname + "san", so the king asked him why. Then, the slave answered the above
sentence.

I don't understand the function of the particle "に", because it seems to imply
that is too much to call a king with honorifics, although with the context,
it's exactly the opposite: to call a slave with honorifics. Is "に" linked to
"いただく"?

question
meaning particle-に giving-and-receiving
What is the function of "に" in the following sentence?
It's the other way around. "王に敬称で呼んでいただくなど……恐れ多いことです。" means it is too much
for the king to call him with honorifics. The form Aに<てVerb>いただく simply means
A is doing the action for the speaker.
