Chapter 994 Misery Loves Company

As he talked with Roody and Ken, Eren realized that his anger at Ken was misplaced

Maybe one of the reasons he hated Ken was because of the latter's ability to nurture goodness in his heart even after co to terms with the cruelty of the world Kenpath despite knowing the potential repercussions

No matter how he tried or pretended to, the butcher wasn't capable of nurturing goodness in his heart anyned himself with the cruel side of the world So in the past, to oodness, he branded Ken as his opposition

Eren could say that he was still in his growing phase as well Because it took hi to realize how naive he had been in his acade the only student there at the time with the etting old and having past experiences didn't turn a person into an all-knowing sage It justcertain life decisions in the future And that was it

But to see as hidden beneath the surface-level view, one would require ained from those experiences Eren's interactions with Ken and Roody were giving his around hi because of his own prejudice

When the two finished speaking about themselves, they asked Eren what he had been up to Both of them had heard about Eren's success while they were busy with their own lives But they wanted to hear straight from the horse's e about hiuild briefly before nulped down a few chugs from his pitcher and pondered a bit He chuckled to hi

Eren offered a ulped fro in an es you don't mean, Eren

Eren raised his eyebrohen he heard Ken's thoughts on Sienna He had to adrowth

After e the pitcher, Ken accessed the pitcher's rune to draw more liquor stored inside his pitcher He drank frolass and narrowed his eyes at Eren before asking hi But you… you snatched ht?"

Eren looked Ken in the eyes before ad the truth

"Yes"

Ken didn't lose his gaze on Eren He paused before asking hiot cozy with her and blaain Ken was gullible but he wouldn't stay gullible all the ti the period they were engaged And he could guess what kind of girl she was based on his interaction with her It didn't take long for hiuess who the real culprit behind the incident was after Eren and Lensa were said to have gotten together
