The latest episode of House of the Dragon has left fans with more questions than answers, but one thing is certain: Aemond is a cold-blooded killer. The way he brutally took down his own brother Aegon with a precision that left no doubt about his intentions was nothing short of chilling.
The debate rages on about whether Aemond premeditated the attack or just seized the opportunity to take out his brother. But let’s be real, the fact that he flew straight for his brother and Rhaenys like a heat-seeking missile, with a cruel glint in his eye, suggests otherwise. This was a murder, plain and simple.
Aemond has long been a symbol of entitlement and arrogance, but this display of brutality shows that he is willing to take lives to get what he wants. And what he wants is power, pure and simple. This is a man who would stop at nothing to claim the Iron Throne.
The fact that his brother is now dead is just the beginning of a chain reaction that will have far-reaching consequences for the entire realm. But one thing is certain: Aemond is not going to be able to hide from the truth of what he’s done. His actions will haunt him for the rest of his days, and they may even spark a war that will consume them all.
