Hahaa... as a matter of fact, I would. There was no reason to waste the luxury just to hold it exclusive in who got use of it. It was low enough in the castle and too public for the higher nobility, so I wrote a few treaties they didn't notice allowing common use.

[Nothing like using bureaucracy for the betterment of the people's lives, rather than the mere complication of it. Ankari was put in charge of, really, much too much on the paperwork side, his siblings too lazy or occupied with their own ambitions to pay attention to what he was doing with pen and paper. Rewriting a few rules beneath the table was nothing short of expected.]

I got caught on that one about a decade after, but it was much too late. Turns out that the aristocracy do appreciate their subjects not being filthy.
