"Only common criminals are hanged," Astra said. "If royal personages are
to be executed, then beheading is the only proper method."
"So you choose to be beheaded?" Astra decided that putting a brave face on her death was all very well, but she'd much sooner not die at all. Thinking quickly, she responded: "Wait a moment! I didn't say that. It is time for me to tell the truth. I was lying when I claimed to be Princess Astra of Aqualaria. I only said that because I did not want to be a slave any longer, and hoped to trick you into giving me my freedom. I am indeed the slave of the noble lord from Suffex here, as he told you."
