Jin-Ah, who was busy to go to meet her youngest sister Jin-Hee, suddenly bumped into someone and fell. The other party shot away with no time for Jin-Ah to get angry. Jin-Ah, who was about to get up, suddenly felt something stuck in her shoes.
Jin-Ah quickly found a spot where there were no people and took out a note stuck in her shoes. Jin-Ah's heart sank when she opened the note.
"Jin-Hee has been arrested. Our spy group will be out of action for the time being. - Jin-Sook."
Jin-Ah guessed what order would be given to her when she returned to the military camp. It was as she had guessed. It was an order to execute the beheading of Goryeo's big-name spy Bang Jin-Hee at 1 p.m. three days later.
Because the city was an important strategic area between Baekje and Goryeo, the two countries fought for years to seize control of the city. One year ago when Baekje's troops stormed the city and drove out the Goryeo army. The father of the three sisters, Jin-Ah, Jin-Sook and Jin-Hee, who had just been appointed to the city as the governor of Goryeo, was killed by an arrow while fighting to the end. The governor of Baekje cut off the neck of his corpse and hung it high in the middle of a market place. When the three sisters saw their father's decapitated head, they got very angry and vowed to avenge their father by killing the governor of Baekje when the Goryeo army would occupy the city again.
And in the next one year, the three sisters engaged in military espionage for Goryeo. The firstborn Jin-Ah infiltrated into Army of Baekje and became a military officer, while the second Jin-Sook and third Jin-Hee formed a spy group. The information collected by the three sisters during the six months was very much, and the Goryeo army was preparing for another attack based on that information. However, Jin-Hee, the leader of the spy group, was arrested and would got beheading execution three days later. And Jin-Ah, a military officer, also worked as a beheading executioner.
-------------------------------
Since Jin-Ah took charge of the city's beheading executioner, the beheading execution had become quite a boisterous spectacle in the city. It was quite interesting that a pretty woman, would sever the death criminal's neck. In addition, this beheading execution would be sure to be a more interesting spectacle because the death criminal was also pretty. The governor's intention to execute Jin-Hee's beheading three days later was for allowing enough time for the rumors to spread.
In addition, Jin-Hee was the leader of a spy group for Goryeo. Therefore, Jin-Hee's beheading execution and displaying her decapitated head would be a warning to the Goryeo, which was preparing another attack. And at the same time, it would be also a warning to considerable number of people who supported the Goryeo, which still exists in the city. Therefore, the governor wanted to show Jin-Hee's beheading execution to as many people as possible..
Two days later, on the one day before Jin-Hee's beheading execution, Jin-Ah sharpened her executioner's sword. Whenever Jin-Ah executed her beheading, the family members of the death criminal gave Jin-Ah some money to sever the neck of the criminal quickly and cleanly. Whether she was paid less or more, Jin-Ah always sharpened her executioner's sword well and cleanly severed the death criminal's neck at a stroke. Then, the amount of money Jin-Ah received naturally increased.
In this turn, Jin-Ah didn't get a coin. But in this turn, the death criminal was Jin-hee, Jin-Ah's youngest sister. Just as she severed the neck of the other death criminals at one stroke, so she had to sever the neck of the youngest sister at a stroke. So Jin-Ah carefully sharpened her executioner's sword longer than ever before.
-------------------
The next day, Jin-ah took a cart escorting death criminals with two helpers and went to the prison where Jin-Hee was locked up. Jin-Hee sat in a cell wearing a white upper garment and a white skirt. There was a cangue around her neck. Jin-Ah intentionally gave Jin-Hee a look of contempt. Jin-hee did not respond.
On the way that the cart carrying Jin-Hee went to the center of the market, where was the execution site of this day, many people were walking to the execution site. Many of those people sent a look of anger and contempt to Jin-Hee, and there were quite a few who cursed.
The market was already full of people when the cart arrived at the market. As Jin-Ah and her helpers forced their way through people and dragged the cart, people's eyes were naturally focused on the cart. People's eyes first turned to Jin-Ah, as they had usually done, but their eyes naturally moved to Jin-Hee's face. The three sisters, Jin-Ah, Jin-Sook and Jin-Hee, were all beauties that made people's eyes open, but among them, the youngest Jin-Hee, who would get beheading execution on this day, was the most outstanding beauty in face, figure and skin color.
Finally, the cart carrying Jin-Hee arrived at the execution site set up in the middle of the market. Jin-Ah and two helpers dragged Jin-Hee out of the cart and made her kneel on a straw mat. Jin-Hee looked ahead, and the governor was sitting in front of the desk as far away as he was. The governor said to her.
"Listen me, spy Bang Jin-Hee. You are not a normal spy, but a big-name spy leading a spy group for Goryeo. A big-name spy like you should be executed by beheading, and your decapitated head should be displayed by hanging it high. However, a wise and pretty woman like you is too valuable for me to kill. If you betray Goryeo and give fidelity to Baekje, I will recommend you to His Majesty. How do you think about it?"
Without any hesitation, Jin-Hee replied.
"Rather than getting recommendation by the sworn enemy who killed my father, I select to be executed by beheading here and now. However, I shall be glad of your favor which will preserve my pretty face at my 20-year-old age by decapitating me today. Now, order the executioner to sever my neck at a stroke. Severing my neck at a stroke seems to be good for all of us. Killing a big-name spy like me more quickly is good for you, and preserving my younger face by being killed more quickly is good for me."
Governor's face trembled with anger. A little later he gave the order in a firm voice.
"Okay. I'll do as you say. Execute the beheading execution of Bang Jin-Hee, a big-name spy for Goryeo!"
---------------------------
Jin-Ah and two helpers approached Jin-Hee, took a cangue from her neck and raised her up. Then they began to undress Jin-Hee. Because Jin-Hee did not wear any underwear, when they stripped off her white upper garments, Her glamorous breast and pink nipples were immediately revealed. Until they stripped her white skirt off, Jin-Hee did not struggle at all. Her ample hips, slim legs, and pretty feet were also immediately exposed. In this way, they stripped off all Jin-Hee's clothes. The color of Jin-Hee's naked body was extremely beautiful jade-white. The slim naked body of a fresh, healthy 20-year-old woman was dazzling under the sun.
After that, they turned Jin-Hee's hands back, crossed both wrists at right angles and tie them together. And by the same rope, they tied her naked body tightly, They made a big X letter between two of Jin-Hee's breasts. The X letter exposed better her glamourous breasts. And they knelt Jin-Hee down again. The eyes of all those who packed the market were concentrated on her beautiful naked body, which was knelt down in the middle.
Many of the people was shouting blame to Jin-Hee. "That evil bitch!" "Governor, right now kill that bitch!" "Governor, dismember the body of the bitch!" "The corpse of the bitch should become the prey of dogs!" and so on. Among such blames, a familiar voice came into Jin-Hee's ears. When Jin-Hee saw the direction of the voice, she found Jin-Sook's face in disguise. Almost at the same time, Jin-Ah also found Jin-Sook. She came to see Jin-Hee's beheading execution.
Jin-Hee was very glad, and sent appreciation inwardly, 'Jin-Sook, my second elder sister, thank you very much. Because you, my two elder sisters, are with me now, I can die gladly.'
Jin-Hee finished her mental preparation for her neck being severed, duck her naked upper body, and lengthen her delicate jade-white neck. When her jade-white neck was covered with sunlight, Jin-Hee's neck looked more beautiful.
Jin-Ah stood at the left back of Jin-Hee with a big executioner's sword. She raised her sword high, and stared at the center of Jin-Hee's neck, as the target of severing her neck. The surroundings suddenly calmed down. Jin-Hee came to know the time of her neck being severed came. Jin-Hee did not tremble at all. She did not close her eyes.
At this instant, Jin-Hee, whose neck would be severed soon, Jin-Ah, who would sever Jin-Hee's neck soon, and Jin-Sook, who secretly would see soon that Jin-Ah would sever Jin-Hee's neck, shared the same thought.
'Father, your youngest daughter, Jin-Hee, will be killed soon through her own neck being severed by your first daughter, Jin-Ah. And Jin-Hee's decapitated head will be displayed here by hanging high, like your head one year ago. Father, when your soul meet Jin-Hee's soul in afterlife world, please care your youngest daughter's soul well. And please forgive your first daughter, Jin-Ah, who will sever soon her youngest sister, Jin-Hee's neck, and please forgive your second daughter, Jin-Sook, who cannot do anything except seeing that your first daughter will kill your youngest daughter.'
-------------------------
The last order was given. "Decapitate that spy Bang Jin-Hee!" Jin-Ah's large sword was brandished down in a blue circle with her big shouting. Jin-Hee felt a sharp pain in the middle of her neck. The pain quickly penetrated her neck.
Jin-Ah cleanly severed the slim, long, and jade-white neck of Jin-Hee only at a stroke. The time severing Jin-Hee's neck was a little bit shorter than usual. There was not any scream. Jin-Hee's decapitated head flied in the sky, with spouting blood. During the time that her decapitated head was flying in the sky, Jin-Hee, who did not lose her consciousness totally yet, saw that Jin-Ah's sword stopped after severing her neck, and saw that her own headless naked body collapsed sideways and gushed blood violently from her neck-cut stump. Jin-Hee sent appreciation inwardly, 'Jin-Ah, my eldest sister, thank you very much for cleanly severing my neck at a...' Jin-Hee's consciousness was eternally lost.
Jin-Hee's decapitated head fell to the ground, rolled about 10 steps, and stopped. Her beautiful headless nudity trembled as if it were squeezing blood. The slim and jade-white legs of Jin-Hee's headless naked body slightly kicked two or three times.
Jin-Ah walked toward Jin-Hee's head, which fell to the ground. She grabbed her hair and held Jin-Hee's decapitated head high up and showed it to the people. Enormous cheers happened, but in detail, just half of the people was shouting. Of course, Jin-Sook was also shouting. Another half of the people lightly sighed that a young and beautiful woman was decapitated cruelly.
Two helpers rushed out with trays. As soon as they put Jin-Hee's head on the tray, the tray was filled with her blood. While Jin-Hee's decapitated head lay on a tray and circled the execution site one time, her headless naked body was still shaking and squeezing blood.
The executioners put Jin-Hee's head on the governor's desk after showing it around the execution site. Though she already decapitated and some blood and dirt was smeared on her face, Jin-Hee's face did not lose its best beauty at all. Her eyes and expression on her face were just calm. Rather, a slight smile seemed to show. A thin layer of blood flowing under her right lip was the only sign indicating that her face was not the face of the living but the face of the dead. And the slight frown in her forehead was the only one trace of the pain Jin-Hee would have felt when she was decapitated.
------------------------
Governor ordered to display Jin-Hee's decapitated head and her headless naked body infinitely in the center of market. Jin-Ah accepted her head and body, washed it clean, embalmed it. Jin-Ah washed Jin-Hee's head and body cleanest, and embalmed it with using special methods. Finally, she hung Jin-Hee's decapitated head high on a pole. A flag was erected beside the pole. "The decapitated head of spy Bang Jin-Hee, who was a big-name spy leading for the spy group for Goryeo."
Jin-Hee's decapitated face did not turn pale at all because of Jin-Ah's special embalming method, though her blood was already out of her head. So the best beauty of Jin-Hee's face was perfectly same as that of her living time. Jin-Hee's opened eyes "was looking" at the direction of west gate of the castle. So her eyes "could look" at the field where the corpse of her father had been thrown away.
At the point about 6 feet height of the pole exhibiting Jin-Hee's decapitated head, Jin-Ah hung reversely Jin-Hee's headless nudity by tying two her ankles to the pole. Jin-Hee's head was hung at about 2 feet above the cute soles of her headless naked body. Because the legs of her headless naked body is tied shoulder-wide, Jin-Hee's vagina was also exposed totally.
Jin-Ah was responsible for keeping the execution site, so she inspected there in two or three times every day. Jin-Sook sometimes secretly came there and looked up Jin-Hee's decapitated head, and went back with holding tears.
----------------------
In 1 year after Jin-Hee got beheading execution and her decapitated head and headless naked body was being displayed, the army of Goryeo attacked the city and occupied it, and the governor of Baekje was captured alive. Finally, Jin-Ah and Jin-Sook came to have the chance of revenge.
Originally, when Jin-Ah hoped to do work of executioners, she hoped that she would directly behead the governor of Baekje in the day of revenge of her father. Now, she had one more reason of revenge. The reason was Jin-Hee, her pretty youngest sister, who got beheading execution because of the order of the governor.
At the day of beheading execution of the governor, Jin-Sook escorted him to the execution site. In the way of escorting, Jin-Sook beated him and made him half-dead.
Jin-Ah brought Jin-Hee's decapitated head at the execution site. Jin-Hee's opened eyes "saw" the sight that her eldest sister severed the neck of the governor.
Obeying Jin-Hee's will, Jin-Ah and Jin-Sook buried Jin-Hee's headless corpse at the region where the headquarter of her spy group had existed. Goryeo government erected such a tombstone in front of her tomb. "The tomb of Bang Jin-Hee, a brave woman hero of Goryeo, who did not fear beheading execution."
Obeying Jin-Hee's other will, Jin-Ah and Jin-Sook kept Jin-Hee's decapitated head in a jeweled box in their own house. Whenever they missed their pretty youngest sister, Jin-Ah and Jin-Sook took out Jin-Hee's head and saw it with tears.
Due to Jin-Ah's continuous special embalming, Jin-Hee's decapitated head was not rotten at all, and even, her face seemed to be alive. Jin-Ah sometimes lightly sighed and said to the head of her youngest sister.
"We, two of your elder sisters, become older. but Jin-Hee, your face is eternally young and beautiful like at your 20-year-old age, the very when I severed your jade-white neck."
