Am I the only one who finds the age gap disturbing

I really like the story but what is their true age gap. Before Abel dies I assumed he was 20 ish? And he was raising the prince as an 8 year old. (Please correct me if I’m wrong and give me the chapter where he states his age). Then time froze bc he died and came back looking like an 11-13 year old ish. (Again please correct me with chp if wrong lol) so now the prince is 18/19 and Abel is still older in mind but has a child’s body. Their relationship seems gross especially if it gets physical Abel looks like a child ╥﹏╥

    I don’t remember which chapter it was, but the butler mentioned that Abel’s current body is 18 years old. But yeah he looks really young. They kinda implied (from my interpretation anyways) that since Abel’s current body was so weak and with a lot of sickness growing up it affected his growth. But he’s 18.

    Abel’s age initially was never mentioned so idk. Their true age gap (mentally) would be pretty huge tho.

    Sorry I made a mistake. Their true age gap mentally as of rn wouldn’t be that far apart, since when Abel died it was like he went to sleep and woke up again the same age.

    Side note: I hope we get to see more of Abel’s original backstory. I was so invested in him I’m a bit sad he died and got twinkified. But I guess if he didn’t die this wouldn’t be a shounen ai. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

    He was around 8 or 10 when he went into training with his master and the story starts 10 years into training so he was probably 18-20 in his previous body, in this body, he is 18 and mentally since he just slept and woke up, is 18 too.

    When karas and regas first met, Abel was 18 and karas was 8 years old. So it was huge back then but right now they are mentally and physically about same age. As karas is 19 now.

    Got it thanks for explaining. Now my question is so do you know how old his reincarnated body is? Bc even if they’re mentally the same age if the prince is sleeping with a 10 year old in body that’s not okay. Same logic as “she’s more than 1000 years old” but the character looks like a 5 year old and it’s really an excuse to sexualize minors (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
