They used to tease me, you know.
Because I was different.
Aemond, in turn, storms off defiantly.

you’re able to practically see the gears shifting in his brain.
Still, that, at least for me, didnt fully explain what happens next.
But, he doesnt immediately rush to his brothers aid.

Instead, he lets Rhaenyss dragon brutally wound the king before flying to their side.
Its not clear whether or not hes still alive.
Upon first viewing the episode, I was flummoxed.

And would Aemond really seek to destroy Aegon completely?
Wouldnt their claim to the throne be significantly weakened by this?
Wouldnt it make more sense to keep him around, albeit in a weakened state?

Why risk the potential retribution?
Why, I wondered, would George R. R. Martin have written it this way?
Except, of course, he didnt.

Couldnt Aemond have let Rhaenys and her dragon finish Aegon off before arriving at their side?
Without that,House of the Dragonis in danger of falling into the same trap thatThroneseventually fell into.
