Some ideas (work in progress)
Ideas
Just some ideas I have which interest me. I'll be adding more as I daydream them.
1) You were the Monarch of a mighty Kingdom that had recently been cloaked in the fires of war. For generations your kingdom had maintained prosperity through a strict serfdom, which in time, festered into rebellion. Leading a contingency to storm the Palace, my character seizes control of the court and takes you into custody where your initial fate is to be used as an international bargaining tool, as well as a figurehead for the appeasement of Conservative masses.
For a while, I am tasked with making sure you are well fed and taken care of. Which in time grows into a quiet admiration for one another. Until, eventually, chaos in the new order-- treason from an underground sect within the rebels forces my character to flee the city. Not without the former Monarch of course, which I intend to use to keep me safe. This story can go in many different directions.

2) On the other side of the known world is a formidable Kingdom that has become famous for it's aggressively hostile international policies. A police state, and a dictatorship. I am a humble doll maker, though renowned as being one of the more skilled in my craft. One day, I receive an unusual commission to produce a life-sized doll using imported parts of unknown origin. After toiling for months and completing my work, the doll spontaneously forms consciousness, albeit, with the mind almost of a naive child who is unknowing of the world.
Suffering from terrible nightmares and visions of it's past life, I begin to have second thoughts about the job, and together we prepare to flee the country. No easy task.

3) I am a distinguished member of Nobility in an ancient house within an ancient city that has become corrupt. Petty infighting, political murders or warfare have become commonplace. My estate itself is located on the outskirts of the city, just over the English moors, where a thick blanket of dog would roll in on autumn mornings. The reputation of this estate is particularly bad. Though none of it has ever actually been confirmed. What is true however, is the dubious nature of the enigmatic count of the estate. It is here that I had sent for a tutor from the countryside (you) to begin employment at my estate.
Initially, under the false guise of being my educator. In reality, my valet. The duties of which, however, are strictly intended to be for another man. A woman as a man's valet would be simply scandalous. Your duties from that point would be to hear of my affairs, manage my tasks when given, dress me in the morning and fulfill any requests I may have. My chief intention upon hiring you, is that I need someone who does not belong in court to be at my side. For my intention is to take over the Court entirely. This also means I will be taking care to groom you so that you may also be presentable as a Lady of the court, and not a peasant woman from the countryside.
