Thanks for the chapter.

I wonder how much Sana is actually able to change about the future. The world strategy guide doesn't specifically say that the prince was going to have an argument with Tasha and exact revenge on the tavern that specific night. (Open the spoiler if you want to read a simple proof of that. Not a spoiler, just for tidiness)
The translation states:
"...she was a dancer at that tavern, where he (the prince) went to relax in secret" Ch. 2.2 p. 3
The prince could have only gone to the tavern once, and this statement would stand true. But the prince equally could have become a regular and shown up multiple times and this statement would still be true.

Also:
"the prince had an argument with that dancer and in revenge..." Ch 2.2 p. 3
If this happened the first time he showed up to the tavern, then there is no logical problem here. But once again, if the prince became a regular and only had the argument on, say, his 20th visit, then this statement is still logically sound.

In other words, the prince may become a regular and only later on have the argument that caused the tavern's downfall without the guidebook being wrong about what happens.

Essentially what I'm wondering is if this performance changes anything. What if the prince becomes a regular to the tavern because of Sana's performance and she assumes that she has changed the future. That could lead to Melioros and Tasha meeting and be the very catalyst for the argument that shuts the tavern down.

Now, we can be almost certain that Sana can change the future, as with her brother's death. However, at least from the guidebooks perspective, Sana and her family are minor characters at best, and NPC's at worst. It may give some leniency to what happens to "nobodies" but for all we know, the more important story beats, such as those that directly relate to the main character and his party, could be substantially harder or even impossible to change.
