[Games] La Reina's response - story added

LN: Lehrer
DH: Severin Ingolf (35)
DW: Wilhelmina Antje "Elma" (32)

Rank: Scholar (Severin), Dressmaker (Elma)
Elma was pregnant with her fourth child when an unexpected news reached her: her position at the palace was to be replaced. The chief dressmaker had decided that Elma's performance had deteriorated since she became "distracted" with her children. Elma was shocked with the news - what should she do now that she and Severin are no longer needed at court? Reluctantly and with great uncertainty, the Lehrer family left to find a new beginning.Soon after they moved into a modest house at the capital, Elma gave birth to another daughter, Maike. She was again busied with the baby and could not sew, and Severin had to struggle to put bread on the table. But it was that hardship that brought the family closer; with Elma usually exhausted and Severin busy, Theodor started to assume care over his sisters. Even Franziska would help watch over her younger siblings. Severin and Elma were grateful for their children, and despite all the hardships, kept their faith that all will end well.
