Lacus Zeref Clyne
Lacus nodded, sighing as she calmed down. It seemed like now was the time to let the truth out, and hope that the princess wouldn't want her executed or banished from the kingdom or something.
"One last question on my part first, if you don't mind. Do you know what happened to the young woman who was with me back at the gas station?"
Whether the princess minded to answer that first or not, Lacus then proceeded to answer her own question.
"As for who I am... w-well. I imagine you know about the legendary black wizard who terrorized this land around four hundred years ago, who had given birth to ten thousand demons and thrown the world into chaos, right?", she asked with a somewhat sad smile. "Well... imagine if, for the safety of the world, some unknown force had forcibly taken that immortal wizard and merged him with a woman from the future, whose heart was pure and dedication was strong enough to keep the dark powers of the wizard in check... most of the time, anyway..."
She looked at Hisui with an apologetic look.
"...well, I am the result of said merging. My name is Lacus Zeref Clyne. And... your people remember me as the dark mage Zeref."

"I see."Hisui said looking at you. "I do not know what became of your friend, as far as I know, it was only you and I who were taken, probably discreetly through some sort of trap door, or teleportation spell."
She sighs. "Tell me, do you have a plan for us to make an escape?"

Lacus Zeref Clyne
The pinkette seemed relieved that the princess didn't automatically reject her due to her history, and instead asked for her help. It was a definite step towards acceptance.
"I sure can try... I refuse for us to be used to murder innocent souls because of what they are. That man from earlier said our bonds were magically sealed... but my Death Magic was about to go off on its own, so I'm guessing it's either not powerful enough to block all spells, or darker magic overrides it. Still, before we start casting spells left and right, let's try the good old method", Lacus said, trying to slip her wrists free. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9 stones into Thieving (Escape artist) to try to squeeze my hands free so I can untie us.

You tug, and tug, and narrow. until finally you slip your hands free from the restraints.

Lacus Zeref Clyne
"Unnh... not good enough... That won't suffice to free us", Lacus said, as she proceeded to untie Hisui's ankles, since it was all that she could reach right then. "Still... shielded from magic or not... I wonder how those bindings will fare against brute strength?", she said, grinning, as an aura of power visibly appeared around her body, while she tried breaking the bindings holding her with sheer, inhuman, ki-enhanced strength. "Huaaah!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 stone into PL for an action;
6 stones into Thieving (Escape artist) to free Hisui's feet while I'm working on freeing myself too;
6 stones (Ef.) into Ki Control (Ability boost) to increase my Strength;
then 11 stones into Strength; 9 to free myself through sheer might, and 2 into control to make sure that however it breaks, if it does, it doesn't hit Hisui in any way.

You pull, and easily break the ropes holding your legs.
"Oh, and I thought my rope burns were bad." Hisui observed. "So when you said you were going to kill everyone, you really mean you were using... and that means my... actions stopped it?"

Lacus Zeref Clyne
"...Don't worry about me", the pinkette said with a smile as she stood up and proceeded to untie the princess fully. "Y-yeah... It... it's very rare that I lose control of my magic. In fact it's the first time in weeks. But yeah... I was about to unwillingly unleash Death Magic, and I had no control over what it was going to do. A-and what you did stopped it", she admitted, blushing. "I have no idea why. I didn't know it could be stopped... l-let alone by... well, you know." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6 stones into Thieving (Escape artist) to finish untying Hisui as I answer her.

You untie Hisui who walks over to a nearby table where your shoes are located, slipping on her heels, while handing you your own.

Lacus Zeref Clyne
"Thanks", Lacus said gratefully as she took her white pumps and put them on. "Well, we're note tied down with magic bindings, so... let's see if we can leave. With your permission, princess...?" She asked, taking the princess' hand if she allowed it. If so, she then attempted to teleport anew. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6 stones into Magical Travel (Teleportation) to try getting out of there with Hisui, now that we're out of the bindings.

You grab her and teleport... to a remote beach hundreds of miles away.
"Thank you for saving me Lacus." Hisui said with a smile. "How can I ever repay you?"

Lacus Zeref Clyne
Lacus sighed in relief, looking around. Apparently, they'd made it safely.
"W-well... not banishing me away would be a great start. Also... I'd like us to hurry at letting the authorities know you're safe so they do not give in to the kidnappers' requests of handing the Dragon Slayers to them."
She smiled.
"Otherwise... I'm happy to be of service. I do not require any sort of reward or anything... just doing what is just and right is rewarding enough."

"Really... Are you absolutely sure?" She asked walking up to you. "Because if you wanted a little payback for that... Incident back there... I would be more than happy to offer myself as the grateful maiden for your heroics." She teased face to face with you trailing a fingertip along your neckline.

Lacus Zeref Clyne
"P-Princess Hisui...?" Lacus said, blushing slightly as the young lady's finger touched her so. She took her hand, seemingly "...I... that's a... very intriguing offer, but... I wouldn't dare to take advantage of you in any such way... Regardless of my past and my standing in my time, I am merely a commoner here as far as anyone else is concerned", she pointed out.
She looked aside, somewhat embarrassed.
"I mean... don't get me wrong, you are beautiful, and charming, o-of course... but... I don't want to cause any trouble..."

"Are you sure... I mean shame to waste this private secluded spot." She said walking along side you, and gently breathing on your ear.

(OOC: Taking Minority (-1; bisexual) if it's all right, I realized she didn't have it even though I confirmed it before, lol)
Lacus Zeref Clyne
"Ah!♥", Lacus let out cutely, blushing heavily as she felt the princess' warm breath on her ear, sending shivers down her spine. "I... I shouldn't..."
It seemed her ear was a bit of a weak point, as she seemed fairly excited from the mere touch of Hisui's breath on her skin, and her cheeks were red as she looked at her:
"...W-what... would you have me do?", she asked, a bit confused by her own feelings.
