Atusa (Part One)
Some years prior, Tycondrius had transmigrated to his current Realm without memories of his personal history. Using the Oracle powers of his adopted daughter, Sasarame, he was able to review many of his forgotten life events... if as an outside observer.
The woman's name was Atusa... and in theory, she had known him for several decades.
Initially, she acted as his surrogate mother. At the time, Queen Rylania was embroiled in the politics of the Free Nation, establishing dominance amongst the other warbands, and collaborating secretly with agents of the Holy Country.
As Tycon aged, Atusa's role changed to that of his primary instructor, specializing in finer subjects such as etiquette and history.
Each passing year, either her discontent with him grew or he gained more cognizance as to her true nature.
Atusa was a cruel woman.
