| Mistress and Servant Boy | comment |
The archetype of a young man kept under the heel of his typically older female employer. Usually, she takes a certain amount of pleasure from teasing him, asking him to get coffee, giving him Prank Punishments for misdemeanors, and generally watching him squirm. The fact that she's often The Wonka means that he usually rolls his eyes at her exploits, but nonetheless follows her diligently, so there's often overlap with Beleaguered Assistant. Despite this, the woman usually does genuinely care about the boy, she just shows it in a very strange way. She's often a grown-up Tsundere or a Defrosting Ice Queen and may act the way she does because she has trouble showing affection. Hypocritical Heartwarming is likely to occur at some point if someone else decides to mess with the boy instead of her. Note that this relationship doesn't have to be romantic or sexual, and may simply be a mentor/student relationship meant to help the young man develop. There are often elements of UST, but more often than not, it goes unresolved. If the age gap is big enough, the mistress may mother her servant boy instead. Nonetheless, if the relationship does become sexual, the power dynamic between the lady and the boy is likely to serve as the erotic "turn-on". Often, though not always, the mistress possesses magical powers, while her boy is an ordinary human. Compare Lady and Knight which is more about the guy protecting his lady/mistress than serving, but overlap is possible. A major difference is the knight will usually choose to serve the lady out of love, chivalry, duty, etc, while the servant boy is more likely to be hired or indentured. Compare and contrast Pizza Boy Special Delivery, Cheating with the Milkman, and Sleeping with the Boss, when the relationship is primarily sexual. Also see Subordinate Excuse for when more personal reasons are involved in their working relationship. |

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Midna has this relationship with Link. She initially forces him into it and acts cruel and dismissive to his plight, barking orders to the disgruntled farmer-turned-warrior and regularly mocking him. She comes to respect him more when he goes out of his way to save her life against her wishes near the midpoint of the game, becoming more reserved and kind as a result. | |

In the 2006 anime adaptation of Kanon, Kaori Misaka and Jun Kitagawa have this kind of relationship, with Kaori taking full advantage of Kitagawa's unrequited crush on her to use him as a Human Pack Mule. Played for laughs in an early scene where Yuichi actually calls Kitagawa "The Servant Boy." Kitagawa angrily retorts that he's nobody's servant, only to have Kaori walk up just a few seconds later and shove a bunch of her stuff into his arms. | |

In The Red and the Black, the protagonist Julien Sorel and the mayor's wife Madame de Rênal have this sort of dynamic between them. A downplayed example, since it was him who seduced her in the first place, and she couldn't stop feeling guilty about their affair. | |

In The Snow Queen, the relationship between the Snow Queen and Kai somewhat fits. He is young and naive (even after the mirror shards get into his heart and eye), and she is a beautiful, mysterious, and aloof woman who likes keeping him around as a foster child of sorts. Some adaptations even add the romantic subtext between them. | |

Sort of exists between Alice Nakiri and Ryou Kurokiba in Food Wars!. For starters, when they first met Alice was asking her mom, "Can I keep take him home?" like he was a stray dog, much to his chagrin. While Ryou does help her with whatever tasks she has in mind, and addresses her as "Lady Alice", the two are more or less even in terms of skills and experience than is standard for this trope, and Ryou is not above making snarky comments at Alice's expense whenever she messes up something. | |

Medaka Box: Medaka often drags childhood friend Zenkichi along for whatever quirky misadventure that she decides to undertake, and he tends to act like something of a closet Tsundere concerning it. It goes far enough that Fandom pegs Zenkichi as her personal boy toy, affectionately (and more) or otherwise. | |

Ekaterina and Kukrachyov, the pilots of Valspinner from Godannar, which actually used the combination command "Slave On". It even became a plot point of how submissive and "unmanly" Kukrachyov is when the male pilots one after the other flip out from the virus. Just to drive the point home, Shadow, one of America's lesbian pilots, is the only girl affected by it because she's the "manly" one of the two girls | |

Opposite of this exists in Hayate the Combat Butler. Hayate is the servant to Nagi, Nagi is the younger and also the one Hayate's attempting to teach. She also clearly has a crush on him. It's also possible that it's again opposites in Wataru and Saki's case. The dynamic is probably strongest with Hayate and Athena, however. |

She uses it a lot in her non—Scandinavia and the World work. Weedy feminised men in thrall to big strong women is a theme which recurs again and again in her work: she explicitly uses this trope in a series of works about an autocratic aristocratic lady who wields a rod, not necessarily of iron, over her male house-staff. | |

In The Last Jedi, Vice-Admiral Amilyn Holdo and her subordinate Captain Poe Dameron have a bit of this dynamic between them. She is an eccentric older woman who acts condescendingly towards her younger subordinate (with a hint of flirtatiousness, which is especially prominent when she jokingly calls him "flyboy"), and he is a young and impulsive pilot who is annoyed that he has to obey Holdo's orders. The flirtatious subtext was more prominent in the original version of the script, but was significantly toned down in the final version. | |

Played very darkly in Wolfenstein: The New Order.. Secondary antagonist Frau Engle is a middle-aged woman who's been an enthusiastic member of the Nazi party for decades who currently runs a prison camp. She's always seen in the company of a subordinate young man in his twenties. Canonically, his name is Hans Winkle, but most players will know him as, "Bubi," the nickname that Engle refers to him by throughout the game. Engle was promoted to primary antagonist in the sequel, and a considerable part of her malice toward player character BJ Blaskowicz stems from BJ killing Bubi in self-defense after being ambushed by him. | |

The relationship between Maleficent and her servant Diaval is as much this as it is Lady and Knight—since she certainly doesn't need his protecting. All the elements are there; her teasing but ultimately caring for him, his eye-rolling but maintaining Undying Loyalty to her. The original script and novelization also imply some UST there, too. | |

To an extent, Haruhi and Kyon in Haruhi Suzumiya qualify, as Haruhi is the brigade leader and Kyon basically has the lowest rank. They even employ the Necktie Leash trope on occasion but they are generally more peaceful than others as Haruhi doesn't do harm to him for emotional reasons. In the later novels, Kyon seems to acknowledge her as The Leader. This is definitely how the rest of the school views them. "Right, Kyon, you're normal. Sure. You're Suzumiya's minion and you're trying to pull that?" Haruhi seems to think of them this way. In the movie, after a long list of outrageous titles for Haruhi the credits say "Menial Labor: Kyon". |

Yuuko and Watanuki in ×××HOLiC. From making him get her expensive and rare types of alcohol to having him follow her around carrying her stuff while she slices a woman's computer clean in half without scratching the table. Yes, with a baseball bat. As employers go, Yuuko is pretty... unique. Watanuki considers himself to be her slave, but she cares far more about his well-being than is initially obvious. And it turns out, as the audience learns in a very heart-rending way about 3/4 through the series, the feeling is mutual | |

Katina and Russel's relationship in the Super Robot Wars: Original Generation games occasionally carries undertones of this. It's actually a recurring element with some individuals. Viletta's pretty stoic, but she is a pretty harsh teacher especially when it comes to Ryusei. They spend a good deal of time relatively alone in Alpha Gaiden (it makes sense in context), and she works him to the bone. However, she has never acted in a way that contradicts her role as a mentor. |

Tohko and Mikiya in The Garden of Sinners are a more subtle example (plus Touko flirts with Shiki too, so her orientation is anyone's guess), but Shiki and Mikiya also have aspects of this at times, especially considering how much he follows her around (to the point that when she's in a coma the nurses at the hospital call him "Puppy-kun" since he visits so regularly). | |

The Familiar of Zero: The two main characters form this kind of pair, with Louise being the fancy magician mistress who summoned Saitou as her "familiar". Louise takes the "Mistress" bit just a bit farther than most, treating Saito more like a slave (to the point of having a whip/riding crop to "discipline" him) but over time she becomes less Tsun and more Dere towards him. | |

The Percy Jackson and the Olympians fic Sinners features a same-sex variation between Percy and Luke. Initially, it's Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, but the more time they spend together, the more trust Luke puts in Percy, and the more they actually care for each other under the sarcasm. The sexual tension does not go unconsummated. | |

In both Flesh for Frankenstein and Blood for Dracula, this trope is deconstructed by showing wealthy women lusting after their farmhands/stable boys (Joe Dalessandro plays this role in both films) for pure physical pleasure and the "servant boy" being fully aware and not caring, even going so far as to throw it back in their faces when they mouth off. | |

In The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey, the relationship between the titular Fairy Godmother Elena Klovis and Prince Alexander is an interesting involuntary example. As punishment for his jerkassery, she turned him into a donkey and took to her house, where he had to do a lot of work and was constantly ridiculed and made fun of. While he saw himself as a Defiant Captive, from Elena's perspective his attempts to break free were naive and amusing. Eventually, once he realized the error of his ways, he and Elena became a romantic couple. | |

It's actually a recurring element with some individuals. Viletta's pretty stoic, but she is a pretty harsh teacher especially when it comes to Ryusei. They spend a good deal of time relatively alone in Alpha Gaiden (it makes sense in context), and she works him to the bone. However, she has never acted in a way that contradicts her role as a mentor. | |

Liang Qi and Cummings of Canaan are a particularly dark example of this trope. Liang Qi couldn't care less about Cummings and mostly vents her frustrations on him using an airsoft gun, and Cummings harbors a one-sided affection for her to the point that he eventually starts to like her abuse, while Liang Qi harbors her own one-sided love for Alphard to a truly obsessive extent. Cummings' loyalty to Liang Qi is so great, in fact, that he's the one who gives her a Mercy Kill after she tries to give herself synesthesia and it backfires horribly, and at the end of the series, he's shown to have become a monk and still thinks of Liang Qi fondly. | |

Slime Life plays with this trope. The setup is fairly straight: young (or at least, behaves young) servant comes to work for a black mage. The pay-off is unusual though; Darul manipulates Slime not because she enjoys watching him squirm, but because she finds pretty much everything he does unbearable cute. And her stated desire to "touch him" is in a completely non-erotic way, too. | |

In Far and Away, Shannon urges Joseph to come with her and be her servant boy while she's running away to America (since she's secretly taken a liking to him, but also because she wants a way to protect herself); he, on the other hand, angrily rejects the idea. Later, when he's faced with no other alternative (other than getting shot and dying), he does end up choosing to become her servant for the time being. Although he doesn't miss any opportunities to snark at her while doing so. |

In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, you get this, dashed with Beleaguered Assistant with L'Arachel and her "loyal" followers, Dozla and Rennac. Dozla just seems happy to go fight and kill whoever or whatever L'Arachel tells him to, while Rennac plays the "Beleaguered" part to the hilt, being practically dragged along by L'Arachel everywhere. The conversation having L'Arachel properly recruit Rennac is a stock example of this trope. | |

In The Adventures of Pinocchio, the relationship between Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy has shades of this. He is a young and naive boy, and she is an older female who loves him and cares for him, but can also tease him and give him Prank Punishments when he misbehaves. There's no romantic angle though, since he considers her more of a mother-like figure. | |

Both of them are trying to become more humanenote They are technically not human, but that's beside the point. to each other, and it's an awkward process.

In Downton Abbey, it appears that the footman Jimmy Kent had a similar relationship with his previous employer, Lady Anstruther. He even writes her Valentine's cards while employed at Downton. We don't actually see Lady Anstruther for the first two series in which Jimmy appeared, though; however, she appears in Series 5 and nothing so far contradicts what we've gleaned from Jimmy's prior account. | |
