Six months from the establishment of Darsha Sanitation Solutions, young Lord Sharath Darsha had managed to expand his services to twelve noble houses, six merchant guilds, four village communities, and two important trade routes. At age five, he was already the youngest lord-entrepreneur in the realm's kingdoms.

Spoils of these initial endeavors—gold coins, magical materials, and presents of enchanted plumbing fittings—were reinvested in the production process, generating more efficient sanitation networks, reduced installation expenses, and increased magical comforts for each patron noble.
[REVENUE REINVESTMENT: FINANCIAL PROFIT FUELS TECHNOLOGY PROGRESS. 🐧 – TODDLER CAPITALISM IN ACTION.]
Work extended throughout the kingdom: Master Jorik directed twenty-three artificers, Magister Aldren directed seven magical artificers, and five scribes kept records of customer orders and installation dates.
[ECONOMIC IMPACT: EMPLOYMENT IN A MEDIEVAL ENVIRONMENT. 🐧 – YES, THEY'RE PAID IN COINS AND APPRENTICESHIP PRIVILEGES.]
Sharath's father, Lord Varundar, said, "Son, your business competes with the oldest merchant houses. You have more than some dukes employ themselves!"
[WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT: VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR YOUNG LORDS AND THEIR RETINUES. 🐧 – AND THE APPRENTICES LEARN MAGIC TOO.]
Sharath said happily, "More people helping others means everyone can have nicer bathrooms! And they learn about magic and engineering so future projects are easier!"
[CREATOR, YOU'VE CREATED A TODDLER-RUN TECH APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM. 🐧 – SOMEONE HAND HIM A SEAL AND SIGNET RING.]

Sharath, straining to tap the council table, applauded with his hands: "Everybody's making toilets better in different ways! That's fantastic!"
[CREATOR RESPONSE: COLLABORATIVE APPROVAL. 🐧 – HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MONOPOLY, ONLY CLEAN BATHROOMS.]
The Noble Bathroom Arms Race The unexpected by-product: a competition of excess among nobles, each attempting to surpass the other with over-the-top latrines.
[SOCIAL PHENOMENON: ARISTOCRATIC INFRASTRUCTURE COMPETITION. 🐧 – BECAUSE STATUS SYMBOLS SHOULD BE FLUSHABLE.]

[CULTURAL IMPACT: TODDLER INNOVATION TRIGGERS STATUS RACE. 🐧 – ADULTS WILL TRY ANYTHING.]
Sharath smiled: "So long as everyone has clean bathrooms, I don't care how fancy they do them!"
[CREATOR PRACTICALITY. 🐧 – MORAL OF THE STORY: CLEAN TRUMPS GOLD.]
Royal Attention: News of the sanitation revolution had reached the king and his council, so a formal delegation was sent to see young Lord Sharath.
[POLITICAL ESCALATION: GOVERNMENT-LEVEL INTEREST. 🐧 – YES, THE KING IS NOW A PLAYER IN PRIVY AFFAIRS.]
Chancellor Aldermoth, the king's head administrator, conducted business with portentous gravity.
[HIGH-LEVEL CONSULTATION: SANITATION AS NATIONAL POLICY. 🐧 – IT SEEMS POOP HAS BECOME A STATE ISSUE.]
"Young Lord Sharath," he began, "His Majesty has reviewed reports of your innovations. Improvements in public health, trade productivity, and citizen satisfaction are… impressive."
[GOVERNMENT RECOGNITION. 🐧 – AND HE'S FIVE YEARS OLD.]
Sharath looked up: "Thank you, Chancellor! We're happy when people's lives improve!"
[DIPLOMATIC RESPONSE: AGE-APPROPRIATE ENTHUSIASM. 🐧 – OFFICIALS ARE TRYING NOT TO FAINT.]
"The Crown is thinking about launching a kingdom-wide infrastructure project," went on the Chancellor. "Exhaustive sanitation, paid for by royal investment and private venture."
[POLICY PROPOSAL: NATIONAL PROGRAM. 🐧 – YES, A TODDLER IS NOW PROVIDING INPUT ON STATE POLICY.]
Sharath's eyes sparkled: "Seriously? All the people in the kingdom could have good toilets?"
[CREATOR ENTHUSIASM: POTENTIALLY OVERWHELMING OFFICIALS. 🐧 – HE DOESN'T EVEN NEED A SCEPTER.]
"Possibly yes, but it will take coordination among fiefdoms, standardized magic systems, and trained installation crews."
[IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES. 🐧 – TRANSLATION: LOTS OF LOGISTICS.]
"We can do that!" Sharath declared. "We already have crew quarters training programs and can standardize designs for villages, towns, and castles!"
[TECHNICAL CAPABILITY ASSERTION. 🐧 – HE'S THE TODDLER-GENERAL OF SANITATION.]
The Chancellor and his officials looked at each other, amazed by the child prodigy's methodical approach to kingdom-sized infrastructure.
