It's a beautiful day as the sun already moved past high noon on the busy city of Tairal.
It has been almost a week since Wina took the contract from Duke Alaric when she was walking down an alley near the alchemist's guild. She had used some of the gold to pay her own personal alchemist to make a maternal elixir.
'I hope Lucas found a way to make my breasts lactate. Otherwise, the duke will try and kill me if he finds out I told an untruth about already having a material elixir! Geez! When I see gold I can't help but get excited!' Wina thought with worry.
Wina hadn't heard from Lucas in a couple of days and she was starting to panic. So, she needed to visit him soon.
She finally made it to the guild and headed straight for Lucas's room.
She listen closely to the door in order to hear if anyone else was in his laboratory. After listening for a minute she heard someone inside the room. She did her secret knock on the door and waited for him to open up.
*Click! Creak!*
"You're early? I told you I would send word when the elixir is ready." Lucas replied as he opened the door slightly.
"There's been a change of plans. The royal family is hiring right now. And I can't be the one to tell the duke that I lied about being able to make it inside the palace, so I need you to pick up the pace."
"But it's too soon for the elixir! It needs more time before it's ready!"
"Sorry, Lucas. You need to hurry up. I don't know how long the royal family will be searching for a wet nurse." Wina said with concern.
Lucas sighed, "Fine... But don't blame me if something goes wrong... Come in I'll show you what I got so far.
Wina stepped inside the room and saw a bowl filled with red liquid.
"What is this?"
Lucas shrugged, "The maternal elixir. All the ingredients are set. We need them to ferment for twelve more hours."
"Twelve... hours..." Wina repeated.
"Yeah. And that's assuming everything goes smoothly," Lucas added.
Wina looked at the bowl of liquid and noticed a mist coming from it.
"What would be the risk of taking the elixir too early?"
Lucas looked at her in surprise, "Well? The issues are either nothing happens at all, or some unknown side effect takes place. And if by some chance it works as intended. You don't want to eat anything for the next twelve hours because the elixir could get activated by another ingredient and change the elixir's properties into a different unknown potion."
"So there's no other way?" Wina asked with a frown.
"No," Lucas said with a sad tone in his voice.
"I got to risk it, Lucas. I can't let this chance slip, it's the easiest way for me to enter the palace. I just need to not eat anything for twelve hours right?"
"You took on a contract that failure isn't an option, huh?" Lucas responded sternly.
Wina sighed, "Yeah, the risk is worth it. So give me what you got. I only have an hour before they close the gates to the palace."
Lucas handed her the bowl of liquid and Wina took it.
"Down the whole thing in one go, Wina," Lucas instructed.
"Alright. How long does it take before I see any results?"
Lucas shrugged, "All the ingredients should be active within twenty minutes. If you drink it right now then you might start seeing effects as you walk through the streets."
Wina gulped as she looked at the red liquid.
"Alright, here goes nothing! Let's go!" Wina said and downed the entire bowl of the elixir in one gulp.
As the red liquid coated her throat and entered her body she felt a slight discomfort centered around her stomach.
"Geez... I feel like I'm going to throw up..." Wina said with a grimace on her face, "Okay, I think I can keep this down..."
"Well the best of luck to you, Wina," Lucas said.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Wina nodded, "Thanks, Lucas. I'll see you around."
She then turned to leave his laboratory.
***
Wina went back to her inn and dressed in a wet nurse outfit that she purchased a couple of days ago, which contained a white shirt with short sleeves, a black skirt, and a red ribbon tied around the waist. She also wore thigh-high boots and hid her assassin's tools under her skirt.
'Well, I look the part now. I can't wait to get inside the palace!' Wina thought to herself.
*Grown!*
"Oof! My stomach aches," Wina complained as she walked into the city.
'I hope this elixir works. Because I don't have a plan B.'
Wina started walking down the street while the elixir worked its magic inside her system. The pain gradually went away and a strange ticklish sensation started forming inside her cervix.
"Hmmm... What is that feeling?" Wina wondered.
It was then she realized the ticklish feeling wasn't from her stomach, but rather the tingling sensation was coming from her uterus.
"Oh my... That feels nice." Wina said to herself.
And as the last few minutes of the elixir passed by Wina felt a sudden urge to urinate.
"Hm... That's odd. Why am I suddenly getting urges to urinate?" Wina asked herself.
Wina hurriedly made her way towards the nearest public washroom and used it as she quickly relieved herself.
When Wina finished using the toilet she quickly washed her hands and returned back to the streets.
*Grown!*
Her stomach made another rumbling sound.
"What is happening to me?" Wina exclaimed as she looked at her reflection in a nearby window.
Her eyes were glowing a bright hazelnut color, and her hair had grown longer and was now reaching her hips.
The tingling sensation started to grow stronger and Wina felt her clitoris swell in size.
"Hm... This is so weird! The elixir must be trying to trick my body into thinking that I've given birth?" Wina said as she realized that her nipples are growing hard as well.
Wina was using all of her assassin's training to keep her urges in check, but it wasn't working very well. Her breasts were still swelling up and her panties were becoming wetter.
"I can't believe how many changes I'm experiencing. This is crazy!" Wina said as she continued to walk through the streets of Tairal.
Her small chest slowly started to grow larger and it became harder for her to hide her breasts. And as time passed by she noticed other things changing as well.
"Why do my hips seem to be wider than before?" Wina wondered aloud.
And as her hips expanded her butt grew bigger as well, causing the hemline of her skirt to rise up revealing more of her legs and the beginnings of her camel toe.
"Ugh... I need to stop and buy a longer skirt... And a new pair of underwear." Wina said as she tried to hide her growing breasts behind her arms.
What surprised Wina the most was her urge to want to have sex. She never had this urge before thanks to her training as an assassin and also being forced to mutilate the inside of her vergina. But it just came from nowhere.
'Damn! If it wasn't for my assassin's training. A lesser woman would have probably stripped naked on the street and begged to be fucked by anything with two legs!' Wina thought angrily.
But she knew that if she did something like that she would end up as a sex slave for the local thugs until she died.
"Grrr! Lucas was right! My impatience got the better of me. I just need some new clothes and I need to hurry to the palace now." Wina said as she made her way to the royal palace.
***
After Wina went to a tailor she bought a long flowing dress that covered most of her body. Then Wina headed towards the main gates of the royal palace.
As she approached the gate guards stopped her.
"Name and reason for being here?" One guard asked.
"I am Wina Daz, and I am a wet nurse looking for the honor of serving her majesty's son. Here are my credentials," Wina responded as she handed them a letter.
The guards read over her credentials and nodded.
"Very well Miss Daz you may enter the palace." The guard said.
Wina smiled and gave them a quick bow.
She then entered the palace grounds where she was greeted by several servants who pointed her in the direction of the royal maid's office.
"Please follow me milady." One of the servants said as he escorted Wina towards the maid's office.
***
After being escorted to the royal maid's office Wina was met by five other applicants looking to be chosen as one of the wet nurses and nanny for Prince Quinus.
"Welcome ladies. Please have some tea and relax while we interview you." A servant said as he gestured to the chairs provided around the room.
The woman who took charge of the meeting was a middle-aged woman named Rose.
'Hmm. How can I get these women out of the running?' Wina thought to herself.
"So tell us about yourself, please," Rose said as she directed the first question at the first candidate. "What is your name and why should we choose you?"
All the candidates began to introduce themselves. But Wina was not interested in any of them. She just wanted to make sure that none of them were a threat to win the job. So, she came up with a nonlethal solution.
'I have some of Lucas's potions and poisons hidden away.' Wina thought to herself. 'If I use a small dose of it, I could make everyone here sick without anyone realizing what happened... Huh? Crap! Rose asked for my name.'
"My name is Wina Daz," Wina said as she bowed her head.
Rose looked at Wina and smiled.
"That sounds lovely, let me see your credentials," Rose asked as Wina pulled out a piece of parchment from her purse and handed it to her.
"Thank you, I will look them over. Now please join the others in the sitting room while I make sure everything is in order," Rose said as she rose from her seat.
Wina was grateful for the break because she needed to come up with a plan for the rest of her interview and needed to deal with a few of the other women that were eyeing the job.
"Let's see..." Wina thought as she looked over the rest of the applicants.
'I can't have all of them get sick. That would be too suspicious... Hmm... I have some of Lucas's potions and poisons, but I don't know how much to give them and who I should target. If I give them too much then they might end up dying from overdosing on them. I need to be careful. I need to use the minimum amount of poison so that they won't die and have the staff suspect there's foul play.'
Wina sat there thinking for a moment before she thought of other options just in case things go belly up. When...
"Excuse me miss?" One of the applicants called out to Wina.
"Yes?" Wina replied.
"I've never seen you before, how long have you been a wet nurse? Are you qualified to take care of our prince?" Another applicant asked as she looked at Wina with suspicion.
"Is that how you were treated when you were new to being a wet nurse? I thought this was a welcoming community. I guess my husband was wrong about the kindness of Fiafyrites." Wina said as she crossed her arms over her chest which were now DD-Cup-sized breasts.
'Damn! My boobs are so much bigger than I'm used to! That elixir must have had some side effects! Well, no time to worry about that! I need to think of something fast!' Wina thought to herself.
Wina looked at the other applicants who were staring at her with wide eyes.
"No one has ever treated me this badly before," Wina said as she held back a smile while trying to keep up the act of being offended. "I am still new to the task of being a wet nurse. However, I do have experience taking care of children."
"Treating you badly!? We have never seen you before and we don't need someone like you coming in to try and steal a job that is rightfully for us to compete for. Not you! So you better be straight with us and answer our questions if you know what's good for you..." Said another applicant.
'Sigh... It's going to be one of these missions, aye? I hope I don't get angry enough to kill them all. But I guess I'll play along for now.' Wina thought.
***
Wina took her time answering questions from the competition and asked some herself.
She wanted to keep the conversation going because she was trying to figure out which woman was the bigger threat to win the job first. And somehow she was able to win over a few of them.
'Okay. I know that three of them aren't a problem. So, I only need to deal with those two and the job is as good as mine,' Wina thought to herself.
The one named Amber seemed like she knew exactly what she was doing and would most likely be hired by Rose if Wina doesn't do anything.
"Well, Amber. I can see why you should be hired. You seem to be the type of person that can handle a baby. I hope that you'll treat Prince Quinus well," Wina said as she smiled at Amber.
"Thanks! She's not as bad as I thought!" Amber said happily.
Wina walked around the room in order to grab a cup of tea. As she walked to a seat she stealthily sprayed a mist of poison in the air by Amber.
The other woman Wina targeted was Kristan, who was one of the candidates for the job.
Wina had already poisoned her drink when she was being challenged earlier, so she didn't need to worry about her in a few minutes.
As the women waited for Rose to return from her chamber, Wina kept her eye on them and tried to gather information.
"Miss Kristan, why did you want this job?" Wina asked in a calm voice.
Kristan gulped nervously and looked down at the floor.
"Umm... I-I just love babies. They're so cute and cuddly," Kristan said as she nervously patted her stomach.
'Meh... I never was into babies. But I'll make this work if I have to,' Wina thought to herself as she nodded in agreement with Kristan.
Just as Kristan was about to start up another conversation, the doors to Rose's chamber opened.
