I just read the most recent chapters in the novel. The first mention of age was only in passing when Heinley said he wished he was born 5 years earlier so he could have been a prospect for Navier’s husband before she got chosen to be crown princess.
This gives a clue that Heinley might be 5 years younger than Sovieshu. Since Sovieshu and Navier seem to be childhood friends, it’s safe to assume that Navier may be more or less 1 year younger than Sovieshu.
Now here’s the spoiler, after all the emotional trauma of pining for Navier, finding out that Navier is pregnant, that Glorym (that’s the name of the “princess” Trashta gave birth to) is not really his daughter after a VERY PUBLIC paternity test, and the aftermath damage of Trashta being a reckless empress with a massive debt to Duke Ergi and revealed slave past, SOVIESHU LOSES IT. He gets drunk and jumps out of his bedroom window and wakes up with amnesia.
His secretaries detect that he went back to his 19 year old memories when he asked to check on Navier who he tought was still recovering from an injury from peach falling on her head. This memory was 6 years ago when he was still Crown Prince.
So, of we do the math and estimate: Sovieshu was still crown prince at 19. Everything that’s been happening now is 6 years from that. They might have assumed the throne when Sovieshu was 21, Navier 20, and Heinley 16. So, their ages now at THIS storyline is Sovieshu 25, Navier 24 and Heinley 20.
WTF SOVIESHU WHY WAS HE IN A HURRY TO HAVE AN HEIR WHEN NAVIER IS STILL YOUNG AND HEALTHY. IT REALLY IS ON HIS OWN STUPIDITY TO BLAME FOR SEEKING OUT A TRASH AND DIVORCING THE PERFECT WOMAN.
