Of breach of trust
And the misappropriation of royal property,
And having stripped you of your titles on the grounds of unworthiness,
Orders

Clad in the livery of the condemned,
Properly shackled,
And led to the scaffold
Erected in the fortress courtyard,
There to have your head severed.
The Queen, in her clemency,
Spares you the humiliations
Of a public execution.
The condemned woman was then dressed in the robe worn by those about to be executed.

The executioner tipped the plank, and Candice lifted her chin to fit her head into the opening.
