    I think people are reading into it, it’s not even hinted in the books they had this sort of secret love. Aemond and Aegon look is because Aemond is judging him like “you p** your the heir to the iron throne and your gonna let our house be disrespected like this!?” It’s the same reason Aemond stands up and eyes Jace, out of defense for Aegon. Aemond is very loyal to his house and his family and most of all honor (for his house name). He doesn’t take anyone making a fool out of them.

    Helaena chose Maelor because he was so young that he wouldn't know what was going on & wouldn't see the death coming. That was part of the cruelty of B&C killing the opposite child- not only was Jaehaerys old enough to know his death was coming & no doubt be terrified by it but Maelor, when he was old enough to understand, would also know that he was his mother's choice to die.

I think Aemond x Helaena would be an interesting foil to Daemon x Rhaenyra, D&R flout all convention to be together, while A&H love each other behind closed doors.

    I do believe Aemond loves Helena, but not romantically. Aemond knows how screwed up his family is and Helena is the only one pure of heart. That's something worth protecting. Plus, everyone underestimates her intelligence and abilities, much like Aemond was laughed at because he had no dragon. That's a cause for kinship between them. For all of Aemond's callousness, he possesses a depth of feeling few people understand because he is (mostly) in control his emotions. He's not stupid enough to become romantically involved with Helena even if he were to feel that way. He does what duty requires of him. I do hope we see more of them interacting in the future but I doubt it will go where you suggest. To me, it just seems out of character.

I take it more as he’d do it because that’s what’s expected of him if he were to be a king. Also, Aemond didn’t flip out at the dinner because Halaena was dancing with Jace. He flipped out cause Luke was laughing at him when they put the roasted pig in front of Aemond.

She was looking to her right, with her head down. And she was not wearing sapphire, it's a softer hue of green almost teal, not like the Hightowers color of dark green. And the scene in her room, Haelena's face did not light up when Aemon entered. I can't finish the damn video. I don't know why we have to invent things that's not happening.

I want to say Aemond fathered Helaena's children but I also think Aemond, at this point, thinks too highly of his own sense of morality/duty to do anything like that - especially as he's grown up with Alicent's vitriol about Rhaenyra's own bastards and even perpetuates it himself.

    I like this theory, and if it's true, I'm really hoping we get some scenes between Aemond and Helaena and his possible children. Show Aemond acting like a loving uncle/father to Jaehaerys, right before he gets killed by Blood and Cheese, that scene will be so much more impactful if we actually develop a bond with Aemond and his children. Just like how they gave Rhaenyra and Luke some sweet scenes in episode 10 to make the ending much more dramatic. One of the things that annoyed me about season 1 is that the blacks and greens both got their villainous moments, but only team black got heroic and/or sympathetic moments. Even the music seems biased, when Rhaenys murders hundreds of people to stick it to team green the music is triumphant, but when Aemond kills Luke and sticks it to team black the music is very different. The upcoming civil war is going to feel much more tragic if there are people we are attached to on both sides, while currently all the normies and the more simplistic book readers just cheer for team black and see team green as the baddies. I really hope they start working on fixing that in season 2.

    I think if this theory were true and played out on the show and Allicent were to find out the news that her own grandchildren- and the future heirs to the throne- were actually bastards. It would be very interesting to see her internal struggle and reaction towards the news. Especially considering her entire campaign to surplant Rhaenerya as heir to the intron throne rests entirely on the claim that her children are bastards. Allicent has always led by her convections and faith, so something like this would completely undermine her son’s claim to the throne.

    Helaena’s children are Aemond’s not Aegon’s. 11 reasons why Reasons: 1) In episodes 7 Aegon says he doesn’t want to marry her and Aemond says that he would and perform his duties. 2) Aegon doesn’t care for his duties that’s why Helaena never seems to know where Aegon is. 3) In episode 8 when Helaena gives her speech about marriage she says “it’s not that bad he mostly just ignores you” then she takes a pause as she looks at everyone realizing that if Aegon ignores her all the time than how could he be the father her children. Then she says “except when he’s drunk” to cover her own behind and her children. And then everyone starts laughing and Otto says “Good” as in good you managed to save your own behind. 4) When Jace ask Helaena to dance Aegon looks at Aemond like he knows about him and Helaena and to keep a cool head as to not expose themselves by getting angry for asking Helaena his lover to dance. 5) In episode 9 right before Otto and Alicent come in to her chambers to ask where Aegon is she tells her children that if one sibling is giving everything the other will get jealous and want to take it themselves which represent Aemond he feels that the Iron Throne and Helaena should be his not Aegon’s. 6) Right after Helaena tells Otto and Alicent that she doesn’t know where Aegon is Otto storms off to come up with a plan to find and Alicent tries to talk with him and she says “Father” and you can hear one of Helaena’s children says “Aemond”. 7)Aemond looks shocked to find Alicent in Helaena’s chambers and Helaena looks at him them looks down nervously since they both know they shouldn’t be in her chambers alone since she is a married women and Targaryen’s are known for incest which can cause rumors to spread about them and the legitimacy of her children. 8)Aemond tells Ser Criston that he’s next in line for the throne if Aegon is dead or cannot be found. This statement would only be true if Helaena’s children weren’t Aegon’s . If Aegon was dead or they couldn’t find him then Aegon and Helaena’s first born would be next in line not Aemond. But he knows he is next in line because Helaena’s children are his bastards. 9)Aemond says “Tis I the younger brother who studies history and philosophy, it is I who trains with the sword, who rides the largest dragon in the world, it is I who should be….” Then pauses and many people thought he was referring that he should be the king but as episode 9 goes on he doesn’t care about others knowing his ambition to be king. The reason he paused was because he was going to say “It is I who should be with Helaena.” Ser Criston says he knows the feeling of not being able to have what you want in Ser Criston case who you want which Ser Criston wants Alicent. This leads me to believe that Aemond was talking about how Helaena should have been his wife”. 10) This show emphasizes characters hair as a way to determine parentage if you notice Aegon and Helaena both have wavy curly hair but “their” children have straight hair just like Aemond. 11) When it looked as if Rhaenys was going to burn them with her dragon Aemond protects Helaena and she grabs his arm when I believe the show depicts her as being autistic since she some characteristics like she doesn’t like physical contact when Alicent hugs her in episode 8 she just stand still with her arms down and in episode 9 Alicent tries to console her by touching her arm she pulls away so if she is portrayed as being autistic as I believe she is. She would only have physical contact with someone she trust like her lover Aemond.

    I agree with absolutely everything except maybe the autism. What if they're just making her behaviors out that way because she's uncomfortable with alicent and many others. What other autistic characteristics does she have besides being income with hugging or touching *certain people? I think they're just portraying her as different than the rest If they're going for an autistic portrayal it's coming off more like PTSD to this autistic person with cptsd.

    100% agree with everything you said, and some people also say that Helaena committing suicide right after the battle in God's Eye where Aemond dies is also a hint that they loved each other so, so deeply. Her loosing a child that was probably Aemond's and then loosing Aemond... the only one in her family that truly cared for her and loved her. That had to be incredibly devastating for her, making their love story a very tragic and heartbreaking forbidden love story, which is a recurring theme in George R. R. Martin's work; tragic love triangles and tragic forbidden love stories. At least I hope we get to see more of their relationship in season 2, I can't wait.

    When Aemond enters as Alicent and Helaena are talking (after Alicent is interrupted by Helaena when trying to convey the news about the King's death) I don't think Aemond went to comfort Helaena, as you mention. After all, no one was supposed to know and Alicent was JUST about to tell Helaena in the first place. So what was Aemond doing visiting? Why did Helaena look a bit conflicted when she sees him (as though the internal monologue is "oh woops, how do we explain you coming to my chambers like this, this is awkward")? So I think there definitely may be something there for that reason. Great video. Thank you!

    One additional point of support for this theory might be Aemond's relationship with Alys Rivers, a witch-like girl living in Harrenhal. He hooks up with her around the same time Helaena dies, maybe Aemond sought comfort with her because her gifts reminded him of his recently deceased sister's prophetic gifts? Also, I would like it most if Daemon did NOT know Aemond was Jaehaerys' father, and he unintentionally paid Aemond back much more than he intended to. It could be a nice reveal for Daemon later on, maybe before their final battle.

    It’s deceitful to lead with Aemond saying he’d marry Helaena if Alicent arranged it…when he didn’t say that. He said he’d marry her if it were “HIS DUTY” as king, and in context given Aegon was complaining to him about hating that he was betrothed to he’d. Aemond was literally saying “stfu, do your duty…you have one job and it’s a job id gladly due-be king-without complaint.” That’s all Aemond meant, and it’s meant to show how loyal he is to his house and how much of a traditionalist he is, which is why he’s most studied and has done everything Alicent asks of him.

    My personal take is that Aegon IV/Naerys/Aemon the Dragonknight are red herrings who are meant to both hint at and distract attention from the real love triangle of Aegon II/Helaena/Aemond. Naerys and Aemon's supposed affair gets all of the attention in history, but I think the accusations of an affair were actually false. Naerys and Aemon didn't ever consummate their relationship, and Naerys' children were her husband's. But the suggestion that such a thing COULD have happened is there, and if you're paying close enough attention, you can follow the family tree up a couple of generations to see the real love affair. But Helaena and Aemond got away with it without anyone (publicly) suspecting. And as you said, it would make the choice between the two sons and the "a son for a son" punishment cut so much more deeply if one was Aemond's own child.

    I don't think Helena and Aemond would defy duty and the honor of their family by having sex and cuckolding Aegon, to be honest. Although I think Aemond sincerely cares about Helaena more than Aegon would ever...and based on the leak, the Lucerys's murder/death was not intentional on Aemond's side (I think he hated Lucerys enough to wish him death, but he logically knew to not 'pull the trigger' so to speak since it'd kill every possible diplomatic solution then, but every dragon is connected so wholly to their riders, so it's not a surprise Vhagar took the initiative to deliver the killing blow although Aemond said 'no'), so when Blood & Cheese happens later on, it will hit him harder. Not because the child in question belonged to him, but because Aemond probably blamed himself for failing to protect Helaena (plus the child)--who are his family-- and being the main cause of that incident.

    One of the other messed up aspects of Blood and Cheese is that even though Maelor is the youngest, he can still somewhat understand what's going on. To twist the knife further into poor Helaena, they mock the child and sneer that his own mother wanted him to die and not her other children. That sticks with her so horribly that she can't even look at her child again. I can't imagine how difficult that scene will be to film, I'm sure they'll need counseling of some sort after such a horrific event, even if it is for a show.

    @@FeyFire Helaena’s children are Aemond’s not Aegon’s. 11 reasons why Reasons: 1) In episodes 7 Aegon says he doesn’t want to marry her and Aemond says that he would and perform his duties. 2) Aegon doesn’t care for his duties that’s why Helaena never seems to know where Aegon is. 3) In episode 8 when Helaena gives her speech about marriage she says “it’s not that bad he mostly just ignores you” then she takes a pause as she looks at everyone realizing that if Aegon ignores her all the time than how could he be the father her children. Then she says “accepts when he’s drunk” to cover her own behind and her children. And then everyone starts laughing and Otto says “Good” as in good you managed to save your own behind. 4) When Jace ask Helaena to dance Aegon looks at Aemond like he knows about him and Helaena and to keep a cool head as to not expose themselves by getting angry for asking Helaena his lover to dance. 5) In episode 9 right before Otto and Alicent come in to her chambers to ask where Aegon is she tells her children that if one sibling is giving everything the other will get jealous and want to take it themselves which represent Aemond he feels that the Iron Throne and Helaena should be his not Aegon’s. 6) Right after Helaena tells Otto and Alicent that she doesn’t know where Aegon is Otto storms off to come up with a plan to find and Alicent tries to talk with him and she says “Father” and you can hear one of Helaena’s children says “Aemond”. 7)Aemond looks shocked to find Alicent in Helaena’s chambers and Helaena looks at him them looks down nervously since they both know they shouldn’t be in her chambers alone since she is a married women and Targaryen’s are known for incest which can cause rumors to spread about them and the legitimacy of her children. 8)Aemond tells Ser Criston that he’s next in line for the throne if Aegon is dead or cannot be found. This statement would only be true if Helaena’s children weren’t Aegon’s . If Aegon was dead or they couldn’t find him then Aegon and Helaena’s first born would be next in line not Aemond. But he knows he is next in line because Helaena’s children are his bastards. 9)Aemond says “Tis I the younger brother who studies history and philosophy, it is I who trains with the sword, who rides the largest dragon in the world, it is I who should be….” Then pauses and many people thought he was referring that he should be the king but as episode 9 goes on he doesn’t care about others knowing his ambition to be king. The reason he paused was because he was going to say “It is I who should be with Helaena.” Ser Criston says he knows the feeling of not being able to have what you want in Ser Criston case who you want which Ser Criston wants Alicent. This leads me to believe that Aemond was talking about how Helaena should have been his wife”. 10) This show emphasizes characters hair as a way to determine parentage if you notice Aegon and Helaena both have wavy curly hair but “their” children have straight hair just like Aemond. 11) When it looked as if Rhaenys was going to burn them with her dragon Aemond protects Helaena and she grabs his arm when I believe the show depicts her as being autistic since she some characteristics like she doesn’t like physical contact when Alicent hugs her in episode 8 she just stand still with her arms down and in episode 9 Alicent tries to console her by touching her arm she pulls away so if she is portrayed as being autistic as I believe she is.

    Other fans are quick to dismissed the possibility of Aemond and Helaena having an affair because it did not happen in Fire & Blood and by the end Aemond falls in love with Alys Rivers whom he got pregnant. But i would like to point out the similarity between Alys and the TV version Helaena. Book Alys had the ability to see visions on fires while TV Helaena is a dragon dreamer, she's able to see visions as well unlike her book counterpart, who was described as pretty normal not eccentric. Its hard to say if Alys Rivers would also be included in the show by the end but TV adaptations like to change some things in their book counterpart. Also, scenes like Aemond entering Helaena's chamber without warning makes it so hard to disregard or deny the speculations between them. The writers wrote the script on each scenes like there's something to be speculated with and I would like to point out that every dialogue or action in a scene had meaning, that's called good writing. I would like to point out my reasons for "assuming" or "speculating" why Aemond and Helaena have a secret "thing" going on. First: The dialogue exchanged between Aegon and Aemond about Helaena's bethrotal to Aegon. Aegon's words lets the viewers peek through his emotions about his sister. Meanwhile, There's Aemond's dialogue where he says, if he was bethroted to her, he would have gladly married her. Out of duty and it also might be out of fondness he felt for his sister. Aegon always bullies Aemond, this might have created resentment on his part. This would make him prefer his sister, creating a deeper bond amongst the three of them. The writer could have let Aemond say nothing on this scene. They could have let him agree with his brother's predicament because in Fire & Blood, Aegon and Aemond seem pretty close. But They didn't. They also changed Aegon's good relationship with Aemond compared from the books. Making it a bit toxic. Second: The character's actions being shown are a bit odd. Yeah they are siblings, they might care for each other like any other siblings normally would BUT they are Targaryens. Their family practices incest. A grown Aemond is seen standing between Helaena and Aegon during Rhaenyra's trial. They are married at this point, and as a married couple, they are required to be seen standing by each others side like social convention dictates they should. There's another scene during Aegon's coronation, as Aegon's wife Helaena should have been standing next to him as she at that moment, is also crowned as Queen to him and to the Realm. But she stays standing by over to the side, farther than what was expected. Aemond was the one who stood beside Helaena as she looks away from her newly appointed king-husband as he flamboyantly raised his sword as the crowd cheered on and on. What defines their closeness even more is when Aemond shields Helaena when Meleys broke free. He tilts his body to the side with his other arm extended slighty towards his sister-a protective gesture. Helaena reacts by affectionately touching his arm, a gesture of reassurement that she's not brought to panic by the situation. Yes they are brother and sister. And brothers do protect their sisters (old or young) But so is Aegon and Helaena. But we don't see Aegon rushing towards Helaena's side to protect her as a husband/brother normally would. Even Sir Cole shields the princess when Alicent ordered him. She knew that her daughter should be protected at that moment, by her brothers, by a kingsguard and especially by her husband. Third, Jaecerys and Helaena's dance. In the book, it was Aegon who took offense by Jace's gentlemanly gesture. In the show, yes Aegon looked quite in disbelief and insulted But it was Aemond's cold glare that takes the cake. As Helaena gave her hand to Jace, Aegon and Aemond switches glances towards each other. I think it was mostly about how far Jace dared to go that 'closely' to them by asking the sister of the uncles he had a bad history with. But its odd how as the camera rolled, we see Aemond's full attention is directed towards the dancing Jace and Helaena. His chair was angled towards their direction as he watched sternly from afar. This is what created his bad mood over to this scene, it was only when luke smiled at him sarcastically when a pig was served on the dinner table that Aemond completely snapped. Fourth, This scene. The writers's talent in HoT is so good that its making it hard not to SPECULATE. It's like Jon Snow's real parentage speculation all over again. When Alicent called out to Otto, she said "Father" At that moment, one of the child actor mumbles a name that sounded Aemond. (Of course, this part when the child actor mumbles something on the screen is PART OF THE SCRIPT. the directors wouldn't include it if it wasn't needed) BUT IT WAS SHOWN. It was NOT CUT out of the scene. There's a reason why that child mumbles something out of nowhere and it is IN THE SCRIPT. There's a catch though, the way the child mumbles this name is unclear. But the pronunciation is close to Aemond's name or Daemon or even Aegon. Not only that, After that child murmurs a name that sounds exactly the same with Aemond. AEMOND barges in suddenly without a warning in Helaena's chambers. He doesnt say anything but he glances weirdly at his sister and his mom. He could have said something in this scene like "What happened?" or "I saw grandfather distressed, is there something going on" or "Mother, I've been searching for you" that would indicate that he came barging in because his either curious of what was going on or if he was looking for Alicent. But no. HE DOESNT SAY A WORD, he just stares at Helaena and Alicent. Thus, his intentions of barging in his sisters chambers suddenly out of nowhere is unclear and WEIRD! the writers got the viewers thinking "What the fuck does that supposed to mean? is there something going on between those two?" etc. THE WAY THE ACTORS ACTED ON THAT SCENE IS PART OF THE SCRIPT and these actions, subtle or not, have a greater meaning. WHAT WERE THE WRITERS TRYING TO CONVEY? If it doesn't have a significant meaning to the story, then the writers shouldn't have wrote it like there's something to be speculated to begin with

    At the dinner Aemond got mad when the cooked pig was placed on the table in front of him and Lucerys gave a little laugh recalling the pink dread. The pink dread was the "dragon" (pig with wings and a tail) presented to Aemond by his brother and cousins when they were children.

    Yes yes, shipping stuff came back to life, we know that. Helaena didn’t choose Maegor because who his father was but because he was the youngest. And her dress wasn’t sapphire: it’s deep and intense blue color, her dress was pale. How could Aemond come to Helaena to comfort her if nobody except Alicent, Otto and that servant that was in cell knew about the death of Viserys? It doesn’t make any sense. We’ll see how it will go when Alyss Rivers will show up.

    it would be a messed up situation but I thought that maybe Aegon ordered Aemond to father an heir through Helaena, he didn't love Helaena so he might not have wanted to bed her so he ordered Aemond to do instead. It would have been an agreement for the three of them. Aemond would have his child as an heir to the iron throne and Aegon looks like he wouldn't care if his prince is his own or his brother's. that was just my theory.

    I don't see it. Aegon fucks any woman, why not do it with his wife too? And he wouldn't want trouble from his mum and grandpa. Ruling could be difficult for him, but fathering some kids? Not at all. And Aemond is too ideological to father bastards, even if he loves Helaena.

Yeah....Aemon IS a Daemon wanna be in EVERYTHING. As for him being the father of Helaena's children?

    They could be unreliable. If they're a "historical record" of a family tree, then they would follow the official line - that Helaena's children were fathered by her husband. Food for thought...

    Aemon and Nearys is another story it is said they loved each other but we still don't know if they had something more than sibling love about Aemond and Haelena I don't think it is true for a few reasons : 1.Helena's blood don't mix with Aemond but Aegon and as you said yourself Maelor is not born yet so twins are his 2.Haelena is dutiful person same with Aemond but he is also proud exception is Aegon that's why he is always scolded by Otto and Alicent never Aemond or Haelena.I don't think he would do this Haelena also. 3.I think he protect her as his queen and sister same as he protected crown for Aegon when Lucerys wanted leave Storm's end 4.He said I would perform my duty if only mum betrothed us but she never did right 5.Son for a son is said by Daemon, Lucerys is also not his biological son so I interpret it like son from queen was taken not king's must be taken as revenge because he could be the one ordering to kill Lucerys for Aemond(we know it is not true) Daemon don't know this for sure but he don't care he just want revenge 5.We had same story with Laenor Rhaenyra and Harwin it would be boring

    Interesting, but seems a bit far fetched to me, there are definitely closer to each other than any of them is to Aegon but not that hard considering how Aegon is. For me, it's Luke laughing at the pig that started the fight at the dinner not the dance, why he'd be mad at his sister dancing and be genuinely happy if he care about her, jealousy? In the scenes in the chamber for me he was more doing this to prove himself to his mother because he knew she was there and for duty. I didn't really feel that bond between them, they feel like they are both kinda loner, and if anyone was close to any of them I would say it was Alicent. But the theory can be true, we should see.

    You're missing a love triangle *hinted at* but never confirmed: Aerys II, Joanna Lannister and Tywin Lannister. Tywin may have had his "stones" damaged during the War of the Ninepenny Kings, and his squire Prince Aerys promising to father Tywin's children secretly by marrying Tywin off to his paramour / wife's lady in waiting Joanna. This is a secret kept very close hold, and here's who knows: Aerys II, Joanna, and Tywin (obviously) -- Cersei, and the Martells. There's a good chance that Rhaegar and his mother Rhaella know as well. On that note, when Tywin told Oberyn that he was not responsible for Elia and her childrens' deaths, that may have been true. Gregor Clegane may have been acting of Cersei's orders, as she knew that the Martells knew. This would also explain Cersei putting the moves on her twin brother and her use of wildfire in Season 6 of GoT.

    I think the idea that something is going on between Aemond and Helaena is cute (as cute as it can be in this dysfunctional family). *However*, I don't think Helaena is actually Aemond's type. Well, the only woman Aemond had an affair with in the book is Alys Rivers, who is like, 30 or 40 something (tho she looks young), Aemond even took her flying on his dragon when he learned that she was pregnant with his kid. Supported by the fact that Vhagar is technically a scary granny, I believe Aemon's type is MILF. Like, he's into older, more mature women.
