"One should not be afraid of having regrets. The aim should be to achieve something even grander than what you couldn't have. Because that's when you truly start to live your life."
Eren said and smiled at Lensa who was lost in her thoughts. She stared at him but the butcher knew she wasn't looking at him.
The elf prodigy of her generation couldn't speak for a while after she started processing Eren's words in her mind. She could also feel that Eren had tried to help her with the remedy for regrets he had come up with.
"Not being afraid to have regrets…"
She mumbled Eren's last phrase in her mind multiple times before it started making sense to her. A genuine smile bloomed on her gorgeous face before she looked at Eren with determination in her eyes.
"Eren, I… I like you."
Lensa, who had initially hesitated, spoke to Eren with a confident tone. The latter chuckled when he heard her say that. He expected that conclusion after reading her obvious emotions.
