After Magic Mirror said not the queen, but Snow White was the most beautiful woman in the world, 10 years passed. The queen endured no more that Snow White become more beautiful, so decided to kill her.
After some days, somebody who had a letter which would be sent to the prince of the enemy state was captured. The letter said some national secrets to him, and said Snow White informed those national secrets to him to getting his love. Snow White denied writing such letter, but the handwriting of the letter was completely same as that of Snow White. To make matters worse, Snow White had continuously insisted on reconciling with the enemy state.
Snow White was sentenced to beheading execution.

On next day, at the main square of the capital city, a stage for the beheading execution of Snow White the princess was set up. On a stage was a chopping block.
Until Snow White was escorted behind the chopping block, all of the people jeered to her, "You dirty traitor!" But, when she looked at them with a gentle glance, her extreme beauty and elegance let most of the people stop blaming.

Snow White did last speech.
"I will die because of the sin I never committed. But, though I don't know who manipulated my sin, I forgive all of them. I hope I will be the last convict bleeding innocent blood. Now, I will follow my fate."

The headsman requested to her.
"Her Highness, could you expose your shoulder?"
"If I do such, so my neck is better exposed, could you cut my neck in one blow?"
"Sure. I will cleanly cut your neck in a blow."

Snow White exposed her shoulder and knelt down behind the chopping block. She duck her upper body and laid her long neck on the block with stretching her neck.
She said, "My preparation is finished. Now, behead me!" and opened her arms wide.

Headsman's cold silver color axe hit the very middle of Snow White's white neck. Soon, a big thud that the axe hit the chopping block. As the promise, in a blow, the headsman cleanly cut off Snow White's delicate and tender neck.

A pole erected on the stage. Snow White's decapitated head was exhibited during 3 days by being hung on top of the pole. Her headless corpse was exhibited together with still exposing shoulders by being laid under the pole. Snow White's face kept calm, and on her face, the trace of pain was almost nothing.

Originally, the corpse of the convicts of treason was prohibited being buried. But, on last day of exhibiting Snow White's decapitated head, the queen announced that she gave a little mercy to her and would bury her head and headless corpse separately like normal convicts executed by beheading.

Snow White's decapiated head and headless body were brought into a small room of the queen's palace. According to the queen's direction, the coffin containing her headless corpse went to the cemetery of the headless corpse of the convict being executed by beheading. After that, the queen secretly the small coffin containing Snow White's head into her own bedroom.

The queen took Snow White's head out the coffin, and stroked the cutting plane of her decapitated head. All of the traces of injuries of being decapitated were disappeared. And she used a magic to give Snow White's head to embalming effect.
After all things were done, the queen put Snow White's decapitated head on a small self of next to her Magic Mirror. And finally, she asked to Magic Mirror.
"Mirror, Mirror. Who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"
Magic Mirror answered, "Your Majesty, you are the most beautiful woman in the world." It's been 10 years.

The queen smiled broadly and spoke to Snow White's decapitated head.
"You said though you didn't know who manipulated your sin, you forgive all of them. You need to forgive just one woman, that is, me. And I see that you truly forgave me, because on your face, no traces of resentment existed.
In fact, now, both you and me get profit. I become the most beautiful woman in the world again, and your face can maintain beauty and elegance like the time you were alive. By my magic, I will maintain your face be young and beautiful."

But, even though she was already decapitated, Snow White's face was much more beautiful and elegant than the queen's face.
 
 
Interesting take on the fairy tale. I was a bit surprised that the Queen would show mercy, until I realized she'd already gotten what she wanted by orchestrating Snow White's execution.
