Anthony was clearly undisciplined and overwhelmed, he had a mixture of pride and ambition which had yet to level themselves out for he obviously did not know how to react or feel currently. It was to be expected, most of the royals and families close to theirs in status had personal slaves for a long time, or promoted existing slaves to the position when children came old enough to need one of their own. Steven would not be Thor's personal slave, though he of course would belong to him, his duties would be Thor's decision to make.
"You were not taught in the unclaimed slave village how to serve a master as a personal slave? Your education, it seems, was lacking. You will assume responsibility for my meals when I choose not to take them in the hall, the maintenance and cleaning of my clothes and weaponry, the maintenance and security of my chambers, you will accompany me when I travel between realms on diplomatic and warrior business to see to my needs, and you will fulfil any other order I choose to give to you."
Loki was pleased despite the behavioural issues, for Anthony had shown no sign of repugnance at his magic, only excitement and bewilderment. That was an important barrier crossed.
"I have been served by palace slaves until now. You would do well to speak with Bruce, a house slave, he has served me the most in the past decade. I will allow one week for the learning of duties and be lenient with mistakes in this time, but you and Steven will be perfect come the feast of my brother's birth celebration. That will be your first duty, to ensure that Steven is also up to standard. Now go, I wish to read, do not disturb me until evening meal."
