No particular reason. I placed the story there in the timeline because some of the things his grandfather is telling him seems more like the "basics" of being King's Thief, and so I assume it is earlier rather than later. However, the way he is speaking, I doubt he is much younger than 8-10 years. I work in pediatric communication disorders and so I'm fairly familiar with language development, although I didn't go to the trouble of analyzing language structures since I assume/doubt it would tell us anything useful. I'd love to hear more ideas if someone disagrees though! I couldn't find any evidence of when this occurred other than the fact that the King ruled in Eddis.
