Part 2

The life of a halfling minstrel:

It wasn’t uncommon for a minstrel to resort to alternative ways of income when there was a lack of customers in town wishing to hear her song.

Being a halfling minstrel can make it especially difficult getting attention from humans compared to her taller counterparts but her height had its own advantages as it allowed other kinds of interested parties to utilise her lips in a way they found far more appealing.

Claudia told herself this would be the last time she resorted to these means but knew internally that life as a female minstrel was inherently unstable and that compared to her male counterparts she always had a way to get some meat in her mouth and her tummy full before the end of a day.

The disappeared prince:

He knew that the prince had no clue how the world outside worked having been raised in the palace all his life. He worried the prince might be tricked or worse do something that will disgrace the royal families honor. Still he believed once his funds ran dry that the prince would definitely come back. As he had never worked a day in his life before the minister couldn’t imagine the prince earning money the normal way.

But despite a week going by and the guards looking for him for days now they couldn’t even find a trance of the disappeared prince.

Unaware that the once prince had been turned into princess and was exploring a world he never knew about thanks to a certain potion he used to disguise himself he bought from a suspicious vendor. Having been turned into a girl the prince sought alternative means to make money after his funds ran dry.

Being a princess now her choices had been rather limited especially as she needed to keep her identity hidden.

Not that her current duties could be said to be very princess like even if a-lot of customers started calling her that way.

As she found herself unexpectedly enjoying her new life not having to worry about the nobles intrigues or national politics but only about the wishes of the next customer she would entertain.

Finally having released some of his stress the minister thought of the tired soldiers and guards and decided to employ the new elf slut he found for relief duty to increase moral in the barracks.

From that night forward until the search was called towards the end of the year thinking the prince likely left the region long ago she fullfilled her duty lifting the mens spirits each night after their unsuccessful search of the prince.

On the recommendation of multiple guardsmen she ended up being hired as a maid, now back to living inside the castle but with duties that fit her talents far more than before.

She diligently insured the guards, knights and even servants moral stayed up.

(I might make a better written side story out of this though it will be noncanon as I am not certain how a gender bender potion would influence the world as a whole) was inspired by the image which I edited to a certain extent. The original image features a male elf.
