Ahistorical nitpick

I am so over the behaviour of 15-20 year old characters in historical settings being attributed to 'being a teenager'. From the OED, the first use of that word in English is 1913! It took several decades to become as popular as it is! Your feudal lordling, your Ancient China/Rome/Greece characters do not have that concept in the way you are using it!
Many of these characters are adults. Not very experienced adults, possibly quite reckless adults, but still adults.
(the amount of capslock ranting I have taken out of this while writing is truly remarkable. It turns out I am so annoyed by this stupidly frustrating detail that I could easily have made the entire rant in capslock)
