This cinematic scene, paired with an ominous shot of the Iron Throne illuminated by lightning, hints at the unyielding determination of Aemond to ascend to the throne he believes is rightfully his.
While some may argue that this juxtaposition is a result of clever editing, the deliberate pairing suggests Aemond’s unwavering aspiration for the throne, echoing his earlier proclamation, “it is I [who should be King].” These carefully crafted scenes foreshadow the tumultuous path that lies ahead for Aemond Targaryen as he embarks on a quest for power in the Seven Kingdoms.
