The sixth episode of the series saw Prince Aemond Targaryen (Leo Ashton) teased by his older brother Prince Aegon Targaryen<\/a> (Ty Tennant) and nephews Prince Jacaerys Velaryon (Leo Hart) and Prince Lucerys Velaryon (Harvey Sadler) as he is the only one of the four without a dragon of his own.<\/p>\n After his dangerous encounter with a dragon in the Dragonpit of King\u2019s Landing, a dishevelled Aemond paid a visit to his mother Queen Alicent Hightower<\/a> (Olivia Cooke<\/a>) who was spending time with her daughter Princess Helaena Targaryen (Evie Allen).<\/p>\n As Alicent questioned her second son about what had happened and showed her dislike for his obsession with obtaining a dragon of his own, Helaena held one of the insects from her collection and commented that he will have to \u201cclose an eye\u201d to get one.<\/p>\n In isolation, this seems like a random comment from a slightly quirky character but it actually foreshadows an event in the book Fire & Blood<\/a> which is sure to happen in the series very soon.<\/p>\n **Spoiler warning for the book Fire & Blood and for House of the Dragon**<\/strong><\/p>\n The moment being teased here concerns Prince Aemond Targaryen as he does indeed lose an eye.<\/p>\n In Fire & Blood, the dragonless Prince Aemond approaches the largest living dragon in the world, Vhagar, on Driftmark following the death of its rider, Lady Laena Velaryon.<\/p>\n When Aemond attempts to mount Vhagar he is caught out by his young nephew Prince Joffrey Velaryon, the third son of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen<\/a>.<\/p>\n Aemond proceeds to slap Joffrey when the child tries to stop him and pushes him into dragon faeces before then mounting Vhagar and flying upon her and landing.<\/p>\n Once landing on the ground, Aemond found himself confronted by Joffrey\u2019s older brothers, Princes Jacaerys and Lucerys.<\/p>\n Aemond scrapped with the boys and even referred to them as \u201cStrongs\u201d, accusing them of being bastards from an affair between Rhaenyra and Ser Harwin Strong.<\/a><\/p>\n This prompted Jacaerys to erupt into anger and fight Aemond who eventually managed to beat his nephew violently.<\/p>\n In response, Lucerys brandished his dagger and struck Aemond, cutting out his eye in the process.<\/p>\n In the aftermath, a furious Alicent demanded that Lucerys have an eye cut out as a punishment but Aemond\u2019s father King Viserys<\/a> refused.<\/p>\n Despite this, Aemond would go on to say he felt it was a fair price to pay to gain Vhagar.<\/p>\nHouse of the Dragon just foreshadowed a brutal book moment<\/strong><\/h2>\n
