"Nova threw herself into her work at the restaurant, determined to bury her sadness and disappointment in a whirlwind of activity.

As she moved swiftly between tables, taking orders and delivering plates with practiced efficiency, she focused all her energy on the tasks at hand.

The bustling atmosphere of the restaurant provided a welcome distraction, with the clatter of dishes and the chatter of customers drowning out the turmoil in her mind.

With each passing moment, Nova felt herself becoming more immersed in her work, the rhythm of her movements soothing her frayed nerves.

Despite her best efforts to push aside her emotions, flashes of the previous night's events kept intruding into her thoughts. She couldn't shake the image of Morgen from her mind.

The disappointment she had felt upon seeing him engaged in violence lingered like a weight on her shoulders, threatening to overwhelm her at any moment.

But Nova refused to succumb to despair. Instead, she channeled her emotions into her work, using the physical exertion and mental focus to keep her mind occupied.

As she navigated the bustling restaurant with practice ease, she found a sense of purpose in the simple act of serving others.

With each smile she elicited from a satisfied customer and each word of thanks she received, Nova felt a glimmer of hope begin to stir within her.

Despite the darkness that threatened to consume her, she clung to the light of possibility, determined to find solace in the familiarity of her surroundings.

As the hours passed and the evening wore on, Nova threw herself into her work with renewed determination. Until someone approached her.

Confused about who it might be, Nova turned to see a woman she didn't recognize standing before her.

"Hello! How can I help you?" Nova asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.

"Are you Lady Nova?" the woman inquired, her tone respectful.

"Yes, I am," Nova replied.

"I am the head butler of the Faust Family. Master Morgen has sent me to deliver this invitation to you," the butler explained, handing Nova a luxurious invitation card.

Nova's heart fluttered with a mix of emotions. She couldn't help but wonder what Morgen wanted from her.

"I was sent here to assist you in the upcoming event," the butler added.

Nova hesitated for a moment, considering her response.

What if I don't want to come, she asked the butler."

" Lady Nova! Please attend the event, Master Morgen personally requested this from me. I don't want to disappoint him."- The butler begging for her while making a bow.

Despite her conflicted feelings, she knew she couldn't refuse Morgen's request.

"Very well, I will attend the event," Nova finally replied, her decision was made."
