Clarification

"Wait… Leonore is not your girlfriend?!" Philip asked in surprise.

"No… I'm only 14! What are you thinking!" Vale couldn't help but raise his voice as well. Furthermore, only his body was 14 but his mind or soul is older than that!

He doesn't feel comfortable with this thought since his modern mind wouldn't allow him to do so. It may be normal here to get married early due to traditions and bloodline matters but as much as he can, he would certainly avoid it.

"Fourteen is already not a bad time for a relationship… If it works well, you can just married at 16 then---"

"Stop… Stop… We need to search for Leonore first." Vale interrupted Philip's next words as he knows it already. It may not be prohibited by law but his mind is prohibiting him…

It wasn't appropriate at all. He may consider some romance in his life but that would happen if he's already at the right age so he wouldn't get burdened by his conscience.
