Just wanted to ask, is killing people off allowed? If it's not, well, I'll just change it up a bit.

Two years after leaving the court of Bial, Severin and Elma were doing much better. Elma had managed to put her dressmaking skills into use, opening a small store where the local ladies will come to have their dresses made or mended. Severin had started to write pamphlets and other short works, earning a bit of money for it. When the Dowager Queen died, he wrote a short biographical piece about her and managed to sell it off for a bit. Franziska had started to assist her mother in the sewing, and Jutte always wanting to join in, while Theodor mostly just continues watching over his sisters.

It was during Elma's fifth pregnancy that a sudden outbreak of fever struck the family. Jutte, Maike, and Theodor were struck - and, to great dismay, also Elma. During the next few weeks, Jutte and Theodor slowly recovered, but young Maike was lost to the fever. Elma, too, slowly healed, but their joy in her health was given a harsh blow when she delivered her baby. The baby was born a bit early, and as an effect of its mother's severe illness, it had gone blind. Severin was devastated, but he promised himself to take care of the boy. Christoph was named in the faith that he will grow up to be a miracle.
