Ormund. I was just starting to like you Ormund. Now you seek to put Daeron on the throne?
Rhaenera? Aegon? Aemond? Daeron? One more and we'd have five potential claims!
But also... Helena is pregnant, right?
Also fucking Daemon. Forced to choose. Your wife or your daughter. I'm sure that won't cause issues later on.
Also is Sunfyre really dead? How is Aegon going to make his comeback? What does Larys really want? He seems too opportunistic to just truly believe in Aegon.
I think aegon is larys's insurance, or perhaps even fare, to get a ship to somewhere safe for himself
I wonder if Larys needs Aegon as proof that whatever money is hidden away he should have access to.
If we assume he knows where the Crown's money is, he can't just show up as Larys and ask for the money. At best he is the former Lord of Harrenhal and former Master of Whispers. But with Aegon he is technically still the Lord of Harrenhal and the Master of Whispers AND he has the "one true king" with him.
Someone might have fucked over a poor club footed man. But the King? (Well probably still, but it's less likely.)
During the Small Council meeting where Daemon brought the head of "Sheepstealer's rider", Rhaenyra stared at it while the Small Council continued to discuss other matters. Among these other matters was Mysaria (ED: Torrhen) mentioning that the Iron Bank wasn't returning their calls when they asked about a loan. Seems safe to assume that that's gonna come up later.
I think Larys keeps a lot of plates spinning and fires lit just in case. Keeping Otto alive in the black cells, for instance.
