* ''VideoGame/BlueSkies2'': When Chancellor Rhetz [[spoiler:states that he has the Calbane clan hostage, Lyrelle assumes her parents must be among them. Chancellor Rhetz never directly mentions her parents in order to hide the fact that he already killed them for trying to escape, and only allows her to believe they're alive to motivate her to get the Holy Stone for him]].

This one reads much more like Metaphorically True.


* In the ''Literature/{{Dragaera}}'' series, AntiHero Vlad Taltos is a mob boss required to testify "under the orb" (that is, under magical lie detection) when a neighboring boss disappears. Among other applications of this trope, Vlad tells the prosecutors "as far as I'm concerned, he committed suicide." [[spoiler:By treating Vlad like he wanted to die.]]
