duteously

In dutiful manner

Duteously means in a dutiful or obedient manner, showing proper respect for obligation or authority.

The word is rare and old-fashioned, largely replaced by *dutifully*: She duteously followed her father's instructions.

It carries a formal, almost archaic tone suggesting careful attention to duty.
