It's interesting you bring up Huxley, because the real servitude is already here—under democracy. People love the illusion of freedom they’re sold, not realizing they’re ruled by faceless bureaucracies, media elites, and corporate interests. We already serve, but we serve an abstract and disordered system that hides its masters behind a façade of "choice."

Bending the knee to a king isn't servitude in the dystopian sense Huxley imagined. It's a recognition of reality: societies need order and structure. Under monarchy, you serve something tangible, a ruler with clear responsibilities and long-term investment in the nation's well-being. Modern democracy, meanwhile, encourages blind servitude to a system that thrives on chaos and distraction, where no one is truly accountable.

The truth is, most people already love their servitude. Try arguing 'taxation is theft' with your average non-libertarian, and you will find this out really quick. The difference is, monarchy is at least honest about power, and that honesty creates a healthier, more stable social order.
