    See M.R.C.P. 54(d) ; see alsoCopeland v. Copeland , 235 So. 3d 91 (Miss. 2017) ("If the facts alleged are broad enough to warrant relief, it matters not how narrow the specific prayer may be, if the bill contains a prayer for general relief." (quoting Redmond v. Cooper , 151 Miss. 771, 119 So. 592 (1928) )).
