In Dragon Family Episode 8, why did the grown-up Aemond Targaryen call Rhaenyra's two children (Jacharis and Luthris) "strong boys"?
When King Viserys Targaryen, on his deathbed, gathers his family to dinner for the last time, hoping to finally put an end to nearly 20 years of feuding. Rhaenyla extended her first olive branch to Allison, she toasted Allison, and Allison returned Rhaenyla with kind words to become queen. At the dinner, the boys Targaryen and Valerian seemed to remain silent, but Amond the One-Eyed changed his tone as he toasted Jacharis, calling them "strong boys" - which A mockery of their true parenthood and illegitimate childhood.
In Dragon Family Episode 8, Aemond calls Jacharis and Lusiris "strong boys" out of pure resentment and revenge for laughing at Aemond for putting a pig at the dinner table . Just like they laughed at him when they were kids. During the seventh episode of Dragon Family, Aemond publicly called them bastards, which led to a fight. Although Aemond lost his eyes, he gained Wahagar and expanded his ego, and he was no longer the kind of person who allowed others to laugh at him - whether it was intentional or not.
Therefore, he chose to use cruel words in response to any contempt he perceived, and the identity of Jacharis and Lusiris as bastards was clearly no secret. This is their most vulnerable point. By stimulating their emotions, Aemond could strengthen his authority as the rightful heir to Targaryen, and at the same time prove that he was not afraid of them.
While Aymond showed sympathy at the funeral in episode seven, it all disappeared when he had the oldest and strongest dragon. Because Amond finally realizes that he has more power. Therefore, there is no doubt that the grown-up Aemon will become the big villain of "Dragon Family" - for Rhaenyra. Compared to Aegon, Aemond is undoubtedly one of the most compelling characters in The Dragon Family. His ruthlessness will become more and more exposed, and his brutality will also lead to many of the tragedies that follow in "Dragon Family".
As shown in Episode 8 of The Dragon Family, Aemond will find every opportunity to oppose Rhaenyla's rule. Unsurprisingly, childhood grievances made Aemond take every opportunity to fight Rhaenyra's bastards to boost his own self-esteem. Even if, for Allison's camp, it would be a huge price to pay.
With the departure of King Viserys Targaryen in House of Dragons, war will soon be declared between the two factions of Black and Green. In any case, Aemond's combat power is undoubtedly one of the most powerful beings in the Allison camp. However, the story of "Dragon Family" is not completely in accordance with "Fire and Blood". In any case, Aemond's hatred has been clearly exposed, and we can expect to see a real battle of fire and blood next.
