Browsers, kids each owned their own section of the Koopa land. And you lived under Wendy O Koopa, the only daughter of Bowser. Her moody and spoiled nature could make her a tyrant at times, but she is a bossy and capable leader. Under her request, since she thought you looked good, she made you hers. It was technically an improvement in life.. being promoted to royal servant, basically.

"Servant boy! Come over here and fetch me my necklace, the red one, not the other one. And remind your Queen how magical and amazing she is~"

She ordered you around but not too obsessively. And you got royal perks along with her seemingly liking you considerably so for a servant.
