Eventually, Val leaves the group to return to Valeri Land. There, he meets a nice young redhead maiden there named Evelyna and they fall in love. (Oh, come on, you all know you saw it coming. Don't even go there. Val's mine people. MINE!) He sends Jonathan letters riddled with his happiness and learns that Patrick and Jonathan are settling in together as well. Jamie has remained in the kingdom next to Valencia, working hard on a plan to save Tyler.
It is now almost a year with Jonathan and Patrick hooking up in their newfound freedom. One day, Jonathan comes home from gathering supplies and finds the door wide open and Patrick missing.
"Patrick! Patrick!" Jonathan cries out, disturbed by the sight. He drops the supplies off and searches for his lover. He runs back outside and into the heart of the village, where he skids to a halt. "PATRICK!!"
Patrick is wearing his peasant-y loose fitting light blue shirt with black pants and is in the arms of two men dressed in all black with black metallic helmets over their heads. He is shoved toward a guillotine machine and then forced to his knees. His wrists are bound together tightly behind him and he is struggling, trying to get his hands free from the ropes. "Get your hands off of me! I didn't do anything!"
Jonathan shoves people to the side, darting to the rescue. "Patrick, hold on!"
"JONATHAN, HELP ME!!" Patrick screams out as his head is forced into the slot. "JONNY!!"
Jonathan hops onto the platform, just as the signal is given. He darts toward the machine and narrowly saves Patrick, scooping him into his arms and whisking him off the platform, to safety on the back of a horse.
As soon as they are safely on the horse, Jonathan tears the ropes off of Patrick's wrists and the blond instantly flings his arms around the Knight. Jonathan flicks the reins and they gallop off, away from the scene.
"My Knight in shining armor arrives just in time!" Patrick cries, clinging to his hero.
Jonathan flashes him a stunning, movie star-type smile. "Hey, I can't turn my back one minute on you, without you landing in some kind of trouble. It's just my luck as your hero, right?"
"I'm your damsel in distress!" Patrick exclaims.
"You're worse than Tyler Seguin." Jonathan chuckles and Patrick joins in with him eventually. The Knight suddenly breaks into song:
"Just to say I love you, never seems enough.
I've said it so many times,
I am afraid you won't understand...
What I really mean when I say it.
How can so much feeling,
So much adoration possibly fit into
Those three little words?
But until I find some other way
Of saying what I feel,
Then "I love you" will have to do.
So no matter how many times I say it
Never take it lightly, for you are my life,
And my one and only true love.
I love you now more than ever before, Patrick Timothy Kane Jr."
Soon, they get back to the house. Patrick is lifted off the horse and placed on the ground. Jonathan hops off after him. The Knight then puts an arm around his blond lover and leads him into the house. They enter and Jonathan closes the door.
