What was Klaus Ermias talking about?
Iria Alewine was left stunned! Tolerating her touch? What was that nonsense? For a while, all she did was staring at the Captain with a puzzled face.
"It's been years since I can't tolerate the touch of anyone in my upper body," Klaus Ermias explained as he gets back on his feet. "Whenever I feel someone's hands on me, it feels like my body is burning from the inside. The pain is excruciating and for me, nothing else exceeds the pain."
"Are you saying that you don't feel the pain when I touch you?" Iria asked, confused. She wasn't expecting such an explanation.
"I do feel the pain but it's tolerable." Captain Klaus glanced at Iria who was giving him with a doubtful look. "I'm telling the truth, Your Highness. Almost everyone in the Royal Army knows this and they keep their distance from me not to hurt me by mistake. You can ask them if you don't believe me. I'm sure that His Highness also heard of this."
