Before someone asks, since I have access to future memories, somebody will say this:

"But you need royal blood to access the paths! Eren would need someone at his side if he wanted to use it whenever he wanted, right?"

Well, that used to be the case. But royal blood only means that Ymir puts you at top priority in a conflict between two eldians. When Eren suggested her freedom, it broke this power. She now put Eren at top priority out of her own free will, despite Eren not being royal blooded. He now has no need for someone of royal blood to use his powers to it's full capabilities.
