Royalty free does not mean copyright free.
Royalty free just means that you pay a single price for non-exclusive use of the image rather than paying per usage. If you have paid to use the image, there are no ethical issues with using the image in the manner for which you've paid.
Even if you have paid to use the image, and are using it within the terms of service, the original image creator still holds the copyright on it.
