His gaze shifted from Aegon to Criston to Daeron and back again before he continued. "Many cases where head injuries have left only an empty shell. The body remains, but the spirit disappears."
Aegon had never particularly liked his brother.
As a child he had never missed an opportunity to tease him, to humiliate him, mainly because he was weak and yet his mother's favorite even though Aegon was the one who was the first son or rode a dragon. It had given him satisfaction to make Aemond feel what Aegon felt.

As a young man he had loathed him because he was what Aegon could never be. He was everything his mother and grandfather imagined and more, while Aegon continued to be a disappointment.
And even though he was now king and had everything Aemond wanted, Aemond had gotten everything he wanted.
