EnglandxReader~ Another Lifetime

"Get away from here Princess!" A voice called as you were tending to the garden. Looking towards the left, you saw a group of soldiers running into the sound of gunfire. Filled with worry, you quickly ran inside where your personal advisor, Arthur Kirkland, was talking to one of the head knights. As he looked up at you, an expression of relief was soon replaced by concern.

"We need to get you out of the castle Miss ______. Quickly, before they start advancing here."  He said, grabbing the map from the knight's hands. Leading you down to the kitchen, you were still confused about the situation.

"What's happening, Arthur? We haven't fought in any wars since a hundred years ago." You asked as the both of you walked through a dark passage hidden under the barrels of wheat.

"The damn Kingdom of the East has started staged a rebellion. The turned their bloody forces against us during our time of famine." He replied, his voice filled with hatred. You unconsciously rubbed your stomach. Food had been getting scarcer for the last decade and it had been harder to feed the soldiers and the people. This was the worst time to be attacked by any kingdom. As he lead you out of the passage into the sewers, the screams and cries above we're echoing in your ears. Unable to take anymore stress, your legs suddenly collapsed under you. Hearing the drop, Arthur turned around with alarm.

"Miss ______ are you okay?! I know you're tired but its only a little closer." He said as he watched you try to get back up, but to no avail. As you saw him look back toward the passage, you could tell he was worried. Leaning on his shoulder, you could finally walk alongside him. As you saw sunlight ahead, the faint sound of footsteps were heard from behind. 

"We must run now. Just bare the pain for a little bit." He said as you limped out of the sewers into the nearby forest. Passing by tree after tree, you could tell you were getting farther and farther from the castle. 

"Arthur, how far do we have to run?" You asked as he let the both of you have a short rest.

"Until we make it to the next village. There will be someone there who will help us pass through enemy territory. Everything will be just fine-" Suddenly he was caught off as a bullet hit his leg.

"Arthur!" You screamed as you tried to stop the bleeding. Looking where the bullet came from, you could see five enemy soldiers waiting for commands.

"Miss _____, just leave me. You need to travel back to the King and Queen." He said painfully as crimson blood oozed from his injured leg. As much as you hated blood, you couldn't let your one true friend die because of you. Pulling off a large section of fabric from your satin dress, you covered the wound hastily. 

"I'm not letting you die Arthur. Please, just stay still." You said as he winced at the pressure being put on his leg. Glancing to your left, the soldiers from before were starting to charge towards you.
