The queen didn't like the princess, who was a half sister, but she didn't have the idea to persecute or execute her. But as the revolt aimed at driving her out and making the princess a new queen continued, the queen's officials constantly suggested to the queen that she should execute the princess. After all, when the third rebellion to make the princess a new queen failed and it was revealed that the princess was passive but sympathetic at this time, the queen arrested her, imprisoned her in a special prison for the royal and aristocrats in the palace, and brought her to justice.

The Queen sentenced the princess to beheading execution for treason. She declared that she would execute the beheading execution of the princess in a execution room in a special prison, and would display the decapitated head of the princess by hanging it high in the middle of a large bridge in the castle.

The princess being sentenced to beheading asked the queen with a nonchalant look if she could make some requests about her beheading. When the Queen gave her permission, the princess said:

"First, please execute my beheading in the square at the center of the castle, not in the execution room of the special prison.

Second, when you execute my beheading, please cut my neck with a sword, not an axe.

Third, please bring Mr. A from abroad as the executioner who will execute my beheading.

Fourth, please display my decapitated head at the entrance of the big bridge, not in the middle of it."

The queen thought inside.

'I see why you're making such request. But anyway, you'll be dead in seven days, so I'll grant you your wish.'

Seven days later, a stage for the beheading execution of the princess was set up at the square. There were countless people around the stage. The people were all holding a white cloth. A cart carrying the princess arrived at the execution site in time for beheading at 1 p.m. The convoys got the princess off the wagon, grabbed her, climbed the stage stairs and headed to the center of the stage. The princess thought inwardly as she saw people around the stage holding white cloths. 'These people brought that cloths to take my blood after I am decapitated.'

Mr. A, a foreign executioner, stood with a sword in sheath on the floor. The princess asked Mr. A in a small voice. "That sword is that I requested to bring to use for decapitating me, isn't it?" He nodded. The princess said again. "You're a very good executioner, so you can cut my neck just at a blow. Right? Besides, my neck is as delicate and small as her neck was 15 years ago."

Upon hearing the remark, Mr. A knew why the princess asked the queen to bring him as an executioner to behead her. So Mr. A nodded to the princess.

The princess gave her final speech to the crowd surrounding the stage.

"If the kingdom and the queen have peace only after my neck is cut, I'll be glad to be decapitated. I hope that the blood that will flow from my decapitated head and the blood flowing from the neck-cut stump will be manure of peace for the queen. I hope that my decapitated head which will be displayed at the entrance of the big bridge be the sign of peace for the kingdom. All of you, be loyal to Her Majesty. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!"

Mr. A's assistants approached the princess and stripped her of all her clothes. Then they turned the hands of the princess back, crossed her wrist at right angles, tied it together and tied her body tightly. Then, after covering the eyes of the princess with cloth, they made a knot in the center of the back of her head. The knot was supposed to unravel immediately when somebody would pull at one end of the cloth.

The assistants let the naked and bound princess kneel down in the middle of the stage. Then they placed a large piece of wood in front of the princess and supported her breast with the piece of wood.

The princess thought of her mother inside. 'Mother, At this square, where you had been decapitated 15 years ago, also I will be decapitated soon after, by the sword which had cut your neck. When I meet my mother in afterlife world, please welcome me.' The princess began last prayer. The voice of her prayer was small, but it was heard clear to Mr. A's ear. A little after the prayer of the princess began, A stood next to the left of the princess and drew his sword from the sheath and raised it high. It was a sword he hadn't used for a while, but it was the sword that had sharpened its blade once again for this beheading. At the same time as the prayer of the princess finished, A's sword fell in a blue circle. A sound like a drum ripping sound happened.

The neck of the daughter was as delicate, small, tender as the neck of the mother 15 years ago. So as the sword had cut the neck of the mother at one stroke 15 years ago, it also cut the neck of the daughter at one stroke this time. But like the neck of the mother, the neck of the daughter was strong and strong. So just as the neck-cut stump of the mother had violently gushed her blood 15 years ago, also the neck-cut stump of the daughter violently gushed her blood. One of the assistants quickly put the bowl under the blood gushing stump.

Mr. A grabbed the hair of the princess with his right hand and raised the decapitated head of the princess, and shouted, "God, accept this woman's soul!" And he pulled the end of the knot in the center of back of the head of the princess with his left hand. The knot unraveled in one gulp and due to its rebound, the decapitated head of the princess went round one time. Blood was spattered in all directions from her head. Mr. A turned the face of princess to the direction of her headless body. Even though the neck of the princess had been cut off already, because her chest was supported by a piece of wood, her headless naked body gushed blood from her neck-cut stump with not being collapsed. Just after watching that sight, the consciousness of the princess was permanently lost.

When Mr. A nodded his head to announce that the beheading execution of the princess was finished, people around the stage rushed in with their cloths at once. Usually, the assistants put the cloth into a bowl containing the blood that poured out of the neck-cut stump of the princess. There was sometimes a person who handed a coin. For such people, the assistants put his cloth directly to her neck-cut stump and gave it back. There were also occasional a silver coin. In such a case, not the assistants, but Mr. A directly, put the cloth under the decapitated head of the princess and made the cloth be wet by the blood dripping from her head.

After it was embalmed, the decapitated head of the princess was displayed by being inserted at the end of a spear erected at the entrance of the big bridge as she had requested. And next to the spear, the headless naked body of the princess which was still tied was also displayed. It was the very place where the decapitated head of her mother and her headless naked body had been displayed 15 years ago. After being exhibited during 7 days, the decapitated head of the princess and her headless naked corpse were returned to the cell of the special prison, where the princess had been confined before her beheading execution. According to the rule about treason, without the queen's pardon, the head and body of the princess could not be taken out of the cell.

On a day after 5 years, the Queen visited the cell where the decapitated head of the princess and her headless corpse were confined. The headless naked body of the princess knelt down, same as the day that she had been decapitated. On the wall where her headless upper body was leaned against a little bit, at the height about at the height of the face of a normal person, the decapitated head of the princess was being hung.

The queen thought that sight was more horrible than her own imagining. But within that horrible sight, the queen discovered one weird thing from the decapitated face of the princess. On the dead face of the princess, the queen could not find the trace of pain or fear. Rather, it appeared on the face of the princess that some of free and easy feeling because all things were finished.

On next day, the queen announced the pardon of the treason of the princess. 5 years passed after the princess was decapitated, her head was finally sewn on her headless body. The body of princess was buried at the next of the cemetery of the mother of the princess.
