Everyone noticed the changes of Loke and Lucy's relationship. Before both of them was very quiet in between meals but now both of them was eager to exchange topic with each other. Loke was attentively listening to his wife, so is Lucy. Before they never even have a slight contact but now Loke was so sweet and gentle towards Lucy, caressing her hand, stealing a quick kiss from the cheek or from the lips. Before the blonde heiress never even smile in front of them especially when Loke's around but now her lips were adorned with wide smile.
Polyursica was surprised but nevertheless pleased how good the relationship between the two. She's glad that they're both slowly opening each other's heart. She left the couple with Loke spoon feeding Lucy with the dessert. Even though she's deeply blushing, Lucy took the food Loke offering to him. Cheesy or even corny, she doesn't care as long as she's happy.

After the breakfast, Loke and Lucy went to the barn house. He tour his wife around with Lucy's arms hook at Loke's arm. And then after that Loke tour Lucy around his land where different kind of seasonal crops were planted. Since it's still summer, there are different kinds of summer crops planted on each field likes pineapples, apples, tomatos, carrots and others.
Lucy was fascinated at the different crops and how large Loke's farm is. "Wow, Loke, I didn't know your farm is this big." She said after kneeling down in front of the cherry fruit.
Loke smiled and knee down next to hs wife, he pick a fresh cherry fruit and offered it to Lucy which the latter gladly accepted and eat. "Well, it's actually my dream to own a farm land. When I inherited the land from my grandparents, the land was only half of the current land's size."
"And you you double the size afterwards? That's… great…" Lucy softly said.
Loke smile and bend towards Lucy. Their noses nearly touching each other. "Thanks for the compliment."
Lucy smiled widely. "You're very much welcome." And then they kiss.
Loke's kiss started to become demanding when they heard footsteps. "Loke?" a voice called out. They automatically broke apart and turn their heads towards Loke's left side. Lucy's face turned sour recognizing the green haired girl that was currently approaching them.
Lucy wrap her arms around Loke's arm while she watched Karen walking towards them. The blonde heiress smirked triumphly when she saw Karen's eyes narrowed slightly seeing her arms affectionately wrapped around Loke's.
"Good morning, Karen." Loke greeted oblivious at the exchange of glare between the two ladies. "You're early today. What are you doing here?" he asked.
Lucy scowled when Loke kiss Karen's cheek in friendly manner but Karen's obviously giving malice about Loke's simple kiss. Yeah, what are you doing here? You're obviously disturbing our precious time. Lucy inwardly complained still glaring at Karen.
"I was actually looking for you." Karen said with her flirtatious tone.
The nerve! She's flirting with my husband right in front of me! I so wanted to slap you! Lucy screamed mentally.
"Why?" the oh so oblivious Loke asked.
"Mom and Dad just came back from West Kingdom. They wanted to talk to you about something." Karen answered sweetly. Lucy seriously wanted to throw up at Karen's oh so sweet tone.
Lucy automatically flashed a sweet smile at Loke when the latter turn his eyes at her. "Do you mind if we go to Karen's house, Lucy? It might be important." Loke softly asked tapping Lucy's nose.
Lucy raised her eyebrows and nodded. "Yeah, sure. It'll be pleasure to meet Karen's parents as your wife." Lucy said the last word mockingly eyeing Karen with playful look. Loke, still not aware at the cold was between the two, smile and gave Lucy a quick kiss on the lips which did not go passed unnoticed by Karen. Lucy inwardly celebrated when Karen pout. Hah! Take that!
"Well then, let's go?" Loke ushered the two ladies towards his pick up car.

"Your wife is really pretty, Loke-kun." Mr. Lilica, fifty eight years old bald man with huge tummy, said. Loke affectionately nuzzled his nose against Lucy temple and smile at the old man.
"She sure is. I'm indeed blessed to have such a beautiful wife." Loke said. Lucy smile and gently swatted Loke's arm.
"Stop that, you're making me blush." Lucy said with a red tinge dusted her cheeks. She was the only one who caught Karen rolling her eyes in irritation, Lucy secretly smile looking satisfied at how annoyed Karen is right now. The green haired girl was sitting in across Lucy on the long dining table. Mr. Lilica was sitting on the center, while the kind looking (it's hard to believe she's Karen's mother) Mrs. Lilica was sitting on the right while Loke was on the left. Of course Lucy was sitting next to her husband, that irritate Karen more.
"Aww, that's so sweet." Mrs. Lilica cooed. Lucy smiled widely, ignoring Karen's set of rolling eyes again.
After the lunch, Loke and Mr. Lilica were having a talk about new kind of fertilizer and vitamins for chickens. Apparently, the Lilica's business was supply for agricultural business. They're selling vitamins for animals, fetilizers, seed, and different kind of materials necessarry for a farmer.
Mrs. Lilica and Lucy were exchanging topics from make-up to jewelries and to different places from West Kingdom, Karen was just quietly listening at Lucy and Mrs. Lilica's conversation and from time to time joining the two ladies but the entire time she's busy batting her eyelashes at Loke. Lucy secretly arched an eyebrow at Karen's obvious way of flirting. Doesn't she have any self respect? She's flirting with my husband right in front of me and her parents. Argh! The nerve!
"How about it?" Loke asked her. Disoriented, Lucy blinked her eyes and gave her husband a baffled expression.
"What?"
Loke frowned. "I just invited Mr and Mrs. Lilica to have some dinner with us tomorrow. How about it?" Loke repeated his words.
"Erhm… yeah sure." Lucy nodded.
"Can you cook for them, Lucy?" Loke asked.
"Does she even know how to peel an onion Loke?" Karen asked and Lucy did not miss the sarcasm on Karen's tone which cause for the blonde girl to arched an eyebrow. Karen was mocking her culinary expertise! The three were oblivious at the hostility between the two ladies and waited for Lucy's answer.
"Sure." Lucy said, Karen was surprised at her answer. She might not be expecting that the certain Lucy Heartfillia know how to cook or even lift a knife thinking that's practically spoiled princess in their estate. Karen thought wrong though. When Lucy turned fifteen, Layla forced her daughter to learn how to cook, something necesarry when Lucy get married, cooking fascinated Lucy so the blonde girl took up Culinary course in Italy. Lucy might not be that expert but according to her friends, her cooking can rival to the Professional cooks. Lucy mockingly smirk at Karen.
Loke smile and nodded, he dragged his eyes back to Mr. Lilica. "So see you tomorrow evening, okay?" he said. He pulled Lucy's chair gallantly and offered an arm at his wife, Lucy took Loke's arm. The Lilica couple ushered the Loke and Lucy towards the main door, Karen went straight upstairs after kissing Loke's cheek and muttered a good bye to Lucy. They both said their good bye to the Lilica couple and entered the pick up car.
"So, should I look forward for tomorrow night's meal?" Loke teased giving Lucy a side-along glance.
Lucy giggled. "Hmm~ let's see about it." She teased back and kissed Loke on the cheek. Loke was grinning ear to ear, practically happy that their relationship was running smoothly. He's glad that Lucy's opening her heart to him, she probably forgot about the Golden Rule, not that he's complaining though. He hope this would last forever, or so that was he thought…
