Dragon House Season 2 continues to reveal surprising details about Team Green’s love lives. Besides the fact that we learned that Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) and Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) are still kicking boots, Dragon House Season 2, Episode 2 also revealed that Aemond “One-Eye” Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) also has a brothel boo (Michelle Bonnard). In fact, the HBO show confirmed that the reason Daemon’s (Matt Smith) killers couldn’t find Aemond in last week’s premiere was because he was visiting a brothel.
**Spoilers for Dragon House Season 2 Episode 2, now streaming on Max**
Yes, the reason Aemond was nowhere to be found while Blood (Sam C. Wilson) and Cheese (Mark Stobbart) invaded the Red Keep and murdered sweet little Jaehaerys is because he was busy cuddling with the same brothel madam with the one that had a moment. in Dragon House Season 1 Episode 9 “The Green Council”!
In case you’ve forgotten, while Ser Criston Cole and Aemond were searching for Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) before his coronation, they made a stop at Silk Street, the area of Kings Landing where all the high-class brothels are. high. While the lady teased that Aegon preferred to pursue Flea Bottom, she flirted with Aemond, saying, “Look how you’ve grown.” The suggestion is that she met him when he was young (or teenager?) and she’s impressed with how the one-eyed prince turned out.
Fans of George RR Martin’s books know that there is only one character Aemond is usually romantically linked to, and she is a older women. Given that information and the fact that he’s cuddling with the old lady, what exactly is Aemond looking for in a woman? And do you like older women?
“Well, it’s funny because someone asked me today whether or not I thought Aemond had problems with his mother and I said, ‘I don’t think he does, but he just wanted his mother to love him a little bit.’ more, you know?’” Ewan Mitchell said when Jugo Mobile posed this very question during a recent roundtable interview. “He never really felt that unconditional love from someoneIn fact.”
“And then he had to find that surrogate mother somewhere else, you know? Maybe she found it in Vhaegar, you know, an older dragon. And you know, maybe he found it in the lady.
“In some ways, he’s just a broken kid. He needs to be fixed. “Someone is going to help him,” Mitchell said.
Mitchell admitted that he likes to play with the audience’s expectations of Aemond. “Letting the audience project their own kind of theory on things and their own history,” she said, answering a question posed by Deven McClure of ScreenRant.
“Because Aemond, you know, is thinking. He could be looking at someone and thinking about how he wants to take them out on a date or he could be looking at them and he could be thinking about how he wants to make food for Vhaegar,” Mitchell said. “He is not such a stupid psychopath or sociopath. There are gears turning behind the eyes of it and I think that is what makes it an attractive watch.”
“It’s about finding out where your loyalty lies, where your loyalties are. That seems convincing to me. Yeah.”
Dragon House Fans will also notice that Aemond tells the lady: “I’m sorry about that business with Luke. That day I lost my temper. I’m sorry”. Thus throwing a monkey wrench into many fans who theorized about the death of Lucerys (Elliot Grihault). Dragon House Showrunner Ryan Condal has explicitly said that Vhaegar killed Luke and that Aemond lost control of his dragon.
Does Aemond care if Vhaegar was responsible or not? “Yes, maybe it does matter. Maybe,” Mitchell said when Jugo Mobile asked the question.
“The word ‘weakness’ is not in Aemond’s vocabulary. You have to fear him. He needs to be seen as something very strong: he wants to be seen as a war hero,” Mitchell explained. “He and Cole know that war is inevitable. This is coming for them and Aemond really wants to be a part of it. He wants to etch his name in the history books, so to speak.”
“He has to do that with Vhaegar, but he sure doesn’t have the best control over Vhaegar.”
Mitchell then said, “Yes, it was an accident.” “It wasn’t Aemond’s fault.”
“Aemond is innocent,” Jugo Mobile joked.
“Aemond is innocent, your honor,†Mitchell repeated.
