Aside from a single visit where Aemond taunted and threatened Aegon, even he has seemingly forgotten about his brother, convinced that Aegon will never be well enough to rule again.

As Aemond, Rhaenyra and their dragons and armies destroy each other, Aegon grows stronger.and awaits a triumphal return.
