The queen didn't like the princess, who was her sister but her mother was different to the queen, 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 queen failed and this time it was revealed that the princess was passive but sympathetic, the queen arrested her, imprisoned her in a special prison dedicated to the royal and aristocrats in the palace, and brought her to justice.
The Queen sentenced the princess to beheading execution. She declared that she would execute the beheading of the princess in a execution room in a special prison where she was confined, and would indefinitely display the beheaded 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 any 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 A from abroad as the executioner who will execute my beheading.
Fourth, please display my beheaded 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 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 will keep my blood in that cloths after my neck is cut off.'
A, a foreign executioner, stood with a sword in sheath on the floor. The princess asked A in a small voice. "That sword is that I requested to bring for my beheading, isn't it?" A nodded. The princess said again. "You're a very good executioner, so you can cut my neck at once. Right? Besides, my neck is as thin and small as her neck was 15 years ago."
Upon hearing the remark, A knew why the princess asked the queen to bring him as an executioner to behead her. So 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!"

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 he 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, right here where you had been decapitated 15 years ago, I will be decapitated soon after. 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 clear to 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. There was a sound like a drum ripping sound.
The neck of the daughter was as thin and small 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, strong. strong, strong, strong. So just as the neck-cut stump of the mother had violently gushed her blood 15 years ago, the neck-cut stump of the daughter violently gushed her blood. One of the assistants quickly put the bowl under the blood gushing stump.

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. Even though the neck of the princess had been cut off by A 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.
When A nodded his head to announce that the beheading of the princess was finished, people around the stage rushed in with their cloths at once. The assistants usually put the cloth in a bowl with blood that poured out of the neck-cut stump of the princess and returned it. There was sometime a person who handed a coin. The assistants then put his cloth directly to her neck-cut stump and gave it back. Because the princess' body was not collapsed, it was easy to put cloths to the stump. There were also occasional a silver coin. In such a case, not the assistants, but A, put the cloth under the decapitated head of the princess and gave it back after wetting the blood dripping from her head.

After it was embalmed, the beheaded head of the princess was displayed by hanging high at the entrance of the big bridge as she had requested. It was the very place where the beheaded head of her mother had been displayed by hanging high 15 years ago. The headless naked body of the princess was thrown into the river without untying the rope tying her body, such as the body of her mother 15 years ago.
After then, ahead of her death, the queen pardoned the treason charges of the princess and ordered to bury her beheaded head in the royal cemeteries. The officials, under the order of the queen, buried the head of the princess next to the grave of her mother in the far corner of the royal cemeteries.
 
 
Very good. I like it, thank you.
