Hi guys, just to let you know, this isn't being dropped. There's been a bit of a hiatus but we're up and running again soon. I'm mostly in charge of cleaning but I'll also be doing some translating to make sure it goes quickly! Please be patient, thankyou!

Don't know if this topic will get much attention but a few people helping me out would be greatly appreciated, I'm just trying to work out how old the main characters are throughout? SEE BELOW FOR MY THEORY. Just skip to the end if u don't wanna see my working out.

There is a time skip at chapter 15 as the narration says the racing event became an annual thing and was popular in the "passing years", which means it definitely at least 2 years.

I know that Soohyuk is gonna be under 15 by chapter 23 because he says "but sir I am not yet-" which made me think he's not of the "legal" age yet? Unless it's for another reason.

Keeping this in mind with the fact that 2-3 years have passed since we first met him, I can kinda conclude that Soohyuk must have been 12 when we first met him. I kinda assumed Wolfgang might be a year older than Soohyuk too? To be honest this is mostly speculation. But I'd put him at 13 when Sooyuk is 12.

I would also place Wolfgang at 13 when we first meet him because it has been "5 years" (stated in chapter 1) since he went missing and from the scenes of him with his mother, he looks to be about Dandelion's age, so, 8 for instance, which would make sense for him to be 13, 5 years later.

Therefore, with these speculated ages in place, I would personally establish Soohyuk at 14 years old and Wolfgang at 15 in chapter 23.

There seems to be a bit of a time gap between chapter 25 and 26 too. I can vaguely suggest that it is a 3 year gap, because Wolfgang says "the 3rd prince babbled a few years ago" [which happened in chapter 19] and a "few" by definition is "3 or more", or at the least, "2".

Dandelion, having been referred to Depennia as a toddler (1-3 years) and kept there for 8 years, I reckon he's about 8 when we first meet him. This is purely because by chapter 31 when it is explicitly stated that he is 13 years old, there have already been time skips in chapter 15 and 26. Which span 4 years at the least, 6 at the most. I put it at 5 for balance.

I get the impression that Sys is older than the others by perhaps 3-4 years? He just comes across that way and during his back-story, he seemed older than Soohyuk (though I do know Soohyuk looks young for his age), also his sexual promiscuity (to an extent) is prevalent near the start and the reaction from his guard in chapter 8 makes me think he's gotta be legal age (I'm English, the legal age for sex is 16 but it might be different in this world). Either way, I'm speculating 16-17-18 years old when we first meet him.

Of course, I have taken into account the translation and the difference in definition of time transition in Korea, but I'm gonna work off the English translation basis because that is all I can do, ahahaha.

OKAY, so overall, I've concluded:

Chapter 15: Time skip (2-3 years)
Chapter 26: Time skip (2-3 years)

Conclusion: 5 year gap in total. Make that a nice solid number, plus it's symbolic since the prince was missing for 5 years now he's done so much in 5 years.

Thus, it puts the beloved characters at (when we first meet them):
Soohyuk: 12 years old.
Wolfgang: 13 years old.
Dandelion: 8 years old.
Sys: 16 years old.

TIME SKIP 1 (2 years):
Soohyuk: 14 years old.
Wolfgang: 15 years old.
Dandelion: 10 years old.
Sys: 18 years old.

TIME SKIP 2 (3 years):
Soohyuk: 17 years old.
Wolfgang: 18 years old.
Dandelion: 13 years old.
Sys: 21 years old.

Let me know what you think or whether I've missed something out or whether it's actually explicitly said somewhere, ahahaha, that'd be awkward. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄

Hella interested in Alex' past but if homeboy's ex shows up and gives a hard time, imma throw down.

Like, I get what everyone is saying about the oddly off-putting style but bruhhh I lovveee ittttt, I think it give it an air of endearment that's different from a lot of typical yaoi manga :D

Has a group picked this up yet? It says in the beginning notes that the editor only intended to do the first chapter and if no one has picked it up, I'll try and work on it.

That was really hard to read but I'm glad it ended well, it was refreshing yet bittersweet to see an arguably more "realistic" and "gritty" version of the Omegaverse which is so often sugar coated in a lot of yaoi fiction. Don't get me wrong, people can do what they want with the omegaverse and convey it differently but I found this manga to be really interesting for its crueller perception. But, like I said, lovely ending!
