"I am Markus. Welcome to my home. The ring on your plate will allow you to open most of the locked doors. I bought you because I need someone to complete various tasks that in my current form I am unable to do. your term of service is forty years after such time I shall release you with a horse and a small bag of gems. There will be no beatings I assure you. You are free to go and walk the grounds. You may do whatever you like at night. During the day you will do as your told. Most of these tasks are rudimentary and simple I have various animals that require feeding and looking after. I cant go near them but some one has to take care of them. I need some one to also tend the grounds. Do this during the day. At night you may do as you wish the dishes are all magical and will provide you with any type of food you can think of. Just place the cover on the dish and think of what you want. The drink is from the cellar. I have enchanted items to clean. So don't be alarmed if the rude broom tries to push you to get a spot of dirt. You may ask your questions and I will answer the ones I believe relevant to you duties."
