Chapter 839: Sea Shanties (2/2)
"Not understanding the true value of freedom, huh? If you ask me, Kirin, it's not the rankers' fault that they are raised this way They are the product of a society that is governed by its rules
Restricting individual freedo overall chaos Which establishment would want to invite anarchy in its wake? So it's not their fault either
Alanization, choose to stay reater illusion of freedo
Even if they are given choices, they don't reallyBecause they would be bound by a set of rules designed for that particular group Regardless of what they choose, the imposition of rules cannot be skipped
By the time they are aware of this truth, they are already chest-deep in the quagmire The freedom of choice is just an illusion, Kirin
You have keen eyes I'll give you that But you can't judge the rankers based on what you see on the surface"
Eren said as he drank the refreshment he had been served He wanted Kirin to understand that things weren't as black and white when it ca them out to be Even with her keen perception, she was bound to remain oblivious to some truths that couldn't be seen unless one had lived a life like hi a bit But she couldn't help putting as on her ree that freedom of choice can be an illusion here, Eren But I didn't even have that illusion to count on when I was in the Oni dungeon My entire society was based on absolute obedience
All I want to say is that rankers who haven't seen anything other than the world of Anfang don't understand what you strive for But I do
Freedom to be free Freedom to pursue what you want on your own ter you interact with this world like oil to water did I realize the true ily unachievable You have ed to carve out a piece of freedooals
People are not after you, Eren Not really They are after that piece of freedom you have for yourself And they don't want that piece for themselves either They just want to destroy it so that nobody can claim that for themselves"
This was the first time since his second chance in life that Eren felt beaten in an argu her inner feelings And in doing so, she had tried to put hiher pedestal than the rest of the rankers
The butcher smiled mirthlessly and looked at Kirin He placed his hands over the table and reclined on his chair The butcher looked at the half-elf with a playful look on his face before speaking up
"All I can say is that I' I now understand why you gals like being praised This shi+t can be addicting Haha"
The butcher then narrowed his eyes and looked at the chandelier that was hanging fro
"As for people wanting to destroy the piece of freedom I have for myself Theytheir lives if they hope to target it"
