House of the Dragon
contain SPOILERS for House of the Dragon time of year 2 , episode 4 .
Summary
A common hypothesis about Aemond Targaryen inHouse of the Dragonwould be even more brutal after the climax of " The Red Dragon and the Gold . “Season 2 , installment 4 ’s conclusion , go out the first major struggle of the Dance of the Dragons : The Battle of Rook ’s Rest . The forces of Criston Cole and the Greens launch their tone-beginning on the shoreline castle , hope to take in out a flying lizard from Rhaenyra ’s side and then use Vhagar ’s size of it and experience to kill it . The strategy is at long last successful , with Rhaenys Targaryen taking the bait and get her and her dragon killed .
While Rhaenys puts up a sizable fight against the far large Vhagar , the episode ’s principal wrench lie in the difference of opinion between Aemond and his older brother , Aegon Targaryen . Even with theBlacks and Greens split , the sides are n’t as cleanly carve up as it seems . Aemond has his own goals in mind , betraying his brother in the midst of the flying dragon combat . He evidently has no honey for Aegon and has everything to advance from him being out of the way . With Jaehaerys killed by Blood & Cheese , Aemond is Aegon ’s inheritor , and he ’s far more respected and reverence by both side .
The Theory That Aemond Fathers Helaena’s Kids In House Of The Dragon Explained
Aemond Seems To Be Fond Of Helaena And The Motive Is There To Slight Aegon
A mutual hypothesis surrounding Aemond Targaryen is that he ’s really the father of Aegon ’s children . This theory came fromFire & Blood , the show ’s reference material , founded by Aemond having a grander desire for major power , having claim a massive dragon and meditate the blade , while Aegon remained relatively indifferent about his duty as inheritor . It would make sense for Aemond to want to slight his brother by his small fry being the heirsto the Iron Throne in arcanum .
Aegon has never shown to take much interest in Helaena , while Aemond seems to have a rarefied easygoing spot for her . He purposefully hide his emotion , butthe dinner scene inHouse of the Dragonseason 1 , episode 8 , show Aemond accept fussy law-breaking when Jacaerys dances with Helaena . It ’s improbable that this theory is actually true , especially after Aemond ’s brothel scenesseem to demonstrate that he ’s only really intimate with one cleaning lady .
House of the Dragon season 2 , episode 4 fully begin the Dance of Dragons , and Vhagar ’s first dupe is much more tragic than first thought .
The Aemond/Helaena Theory Being True Is Much Worse After He Almost Killed Aegon
If The Theory Is Somehow True, Aemond Has Ruined Aegon’s Life Entirely
Even if Aemond is n’t likely to be the father of Aegon ’s children , the theory becomes so much more brutal after Rook ’s residue . For Aemond to have publically mortified Aegon in the small council , then almost killed him on the battlefield , to then have also sleep with his married woman and been the substantial father of his children would be absolutely flagitious . If this theory somehow turned out to be genuine , Aegon ’s entire existence would be an embarrassment inHouse of the Dragon , if it ’s not already .
