Queen L saves the life of a young farmer - a nobody. He's grateful, but she tells him that since she saved his life, technically he owes her his life. But, she does not ask him to offer his life of service to her. She asks him to offer one year of service to her - doing whatever she asks of him.
God saved us for service. We are called to excel.
When the farmer comes to begin his year of service, he first gets trained in some hand-to-hand combat. Then Queen L challenges him on different seemingly impossible quests. He keeps trying to beg off because of his lowly background... She insists; he challenges his beliefs. He does what he didn't think was possible. He is a changed man at the end of the year.
Queen L sets him free at the end of his year of service, and points out he has the choice: Go back to your lowly farmer status, or go on to do great things in service to others.
