Its not the age gap. It's the fact that he know her since she is a child that concern me.
If he knew her only when she was an adult age gap wouldn't be important.
But her he knew her when she was a little scared child and helped raise her.
Yes that too.
It's grooming. :/
In the earlier chapters, when she was 11, he was 18. Now she’s 16 and he’s 23. So it’s not a super big age gap but yea it’s weird since he knew her as a child..
That's basically whats grooming is. You grew a child to make them your wpartner :/
... Grooming would mean that Emiel wants to manipulate, and sexually exploit Estelle. Both of which are incorrect. He, just like everyone else, wants to protect her because she is basically their brightest star. Plus Emiel does not display any grooming
* does not display any grooming behavior
Not that I'm against the emiel and estelle ship but I'm greatly uncomfortable with the age gap. Well I still don't know emiel's age but whatever it's your ship
