It is, perhaps, time for Aemond to count his losses.
As for us, it is time to understand what exactly happened here.
The current prince regent has been dealing with kingly instincts ever since a very young age.
The reign of House Targaryen begins with this prequel to the popular HBO seriesGame of Thrones.Based on George R.R. Martin’sFire & Blood,House of the Dragonis set nearly 200 years beforeGame of Thrones, telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys.
The Targaryens would be nothing without their dragons.
The moment Aemond smokes Aegon off Sunfyre is his true coronation as the new king, at least temporarily.
As the regent, he has power even over the injured king, a.k.a.
the older brother who tormented him throughout all of his life.
Lord Larys has been trying to become the King’s Hand for quite some time now.
Thus, on the home front,Aemond’s days as regent are numbered.
Besides, there is also the fact that his dragonpower will soon enough lose its relevance.
Seasmoke then chose his own rider, Lord Corlys Velaryon’s (Steve Toussaint) bastard Addam.
That’s one hell of an advantage for a team that started on the losing side of a war.
Still,Vhagar suddenly doesn’t look so scary anymore, and neither does Aemond.
House of the Dragonis streaming on Max in the U.S. New episodes air every Sunday.
