Yes... I suppose that aspect of things was never fully taken care of.
[Strange is still bound to Ignatius, as much as he's bound to her. Nothing she has done changes that, besides putting Ignatius in a situation where he can't call in the service.]
That's actually something we need to talk about. You swore your service to him, without time constraints... that means that any time he calls on you, you'll be obligated to answer, no matter how many times he does it or for how long.
In comparison, your contract with me is almost up. When that happens... he'll have more claim to you than I do. And that won't go away, unless he releases you. Or... unless he dies for good.
[She's quiet for a beat.]
It sounds like you don't want that to happen. But, my only solution to him having power over you is to maintain power over him. I'm not sure that can be considered a permanent fix.
