@Dead_Doll It's only weird because no kid should have to be mature at all. Kids are meant to enjoy life as they can and not to worry about their future that early. But it wouldn't be too weird because this is a historical setting and Shuraka is a royal, so life's gonna be that way for him (because of his circumstances). There is no right or wrong answer here. It can all be backed up with some logic.
@Gingerberii it's perfectly okay for a child to be called mature! Kids can act like kids all they want but they can still act mature it depends how they are brought up and how strict parents etc but to instantly think something predatory ... I would question that person's mental health as to why that was their initial worry. It's okay to be innocent not everything is " woke " or " predatory " ...
