Could someone explain to me how Corvo is in his 30s? Because everytime I do the math, I end up with him being in the 40's. This is my line of thinking:

Towards the middle of the Flooded District mission, there is a book in Daud's hideout called "The Royal Protector", or something like that. In it, they say that the young monarch chooses his/her protector at the age of 12. Obviously, this means that Jesssamine chose him when she was 12, and not Emily, or there would be no basis for assuming the possibility that he is her father. So, if Jessamine was 12 when she chose Corvo, let's assume that, at the very minimum, Corvo was 20. So 8 years older. Then, at the very least, we can say that Jessamine got pregnant at...oh 20. So, Corvo would be 28. I'm assuming Emily is around 12-ish, so then Corvo would be 40. Of course, in reality, Jessamine probably would have been older than 20 when she got pregnant, which would therefore make Corvo even older.

So, how then is he in his 30's? I would love to think that he was, because he obviously looks younger than mid 40's, but I can't understand how.
