"A.E." describes the lament sung by the queen, who had lived through two kings, after the hero Beowulf had experienced a legendary life. Accompanied by a mournful harp, the song was filled with remembrance, a magnificent description of the hero, and the sadness of a hero in his twilight years. Of course, more than that, it conveyed the warmth of the hero's return home, and the joy of being with his parents, friends, and siblings. Even as a hero, he was still a mortal, capable of pain, tears, and laughter, he missed home, and he made mistakes. Surrounded by such a song of a mortal hero, everyone listened entranced, even the strong ones couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.
When the song ended, the crowd clamored for an encore, shouting 'One more! One more!' Looking at the enthusiastic people of Red Leaf Ridge, who had formed a line with their citizen's kerosene lamps, Kayal gave a wry smile. 'You wanted to show off, now you're in trouble, aren't you?'
After a moment of thought, he continued to play the harp, shaking his head and singing:
'You make trouble for that desolate maiden, yet you lack the courage to face demons~'
'You have the courage to face death, yet you lack the courage to resist ugly fear~'
'You who live happy and prosperous lives, have you ever thought of the maiden on the cold, barren plains~'
'They are desolate and lonely, with beautiful silver eyes, yet they are regarded as enemies of humanity~'
It was none other than his famous song, 'Ode to the Demons.' Hearing his clear singing, not only the people of Red Leaf Ridge, but even the Claymores who served as guards closed their eyes and listened intently. No matter when they heard this song, it always evoked a feeling that made one want to cry. Sitting below Kayal's steps, Teresa no longer held her calm, smiling expression. She frowned slightly, closed her eyes, and listened peacefully to Kayal's performance. No matter which Claymore, anyone who heard this song, welcomed all readers to read, the latest, fastest, and hottest serialized works are all here!
