Dude is her slave.
Anyone else find it weird that their society has gone through their industrial revolution but still permits slave trade? I mean if you've progressed that far economically and in technology, then social and political progression is inevitable. (Keep in mind I'm assuming women's rights have already happened.) Its only natural for develop societies to discard slavery. Once technology has progressed to a certain point manual labor becomes inefficient. Right?
