You may not control all the events that happen to you nor get to make decisions for yourself. However, sometimes you can make the decision right by doing it on your own. Growing up Aegon and his cousin Celeste had a very different life in many ways...

Ser Lorent Marbrand of the Kingsguard, informs Rhaenyra that Princess Rhaenys has arrived on dragonback and requests an audience with her and Prince Daemon.
Ser Lorent leads Rhaenys in; Rhaenyra asks if there is word of her husband Corlys's recovery, but Rhaenys interrupts to inform Rhaenyra that her father is dead and Aegon has been crowned as his successor.
A stunned Daemon asks how his brother died; when Rhaenys admits ignorance, Daemon accuses Alicent Hightower of having murdered him. Rhaenys explains that she was made a prisoner in her own chambers while the Greens made their preparations, and that she witnessed Aegon's coronation at the Dragonpit before escaping atop Meleys.
Rhaenyra is appalled to learn the Greens crowned Aegon before the masses of King's Landing, knowing as Rhaenys reiterates the masses will now see Aegon as the rightful king. When Daemon angrily demands to know why Rhaenys didn't burn the Greens when she had them at her mercy, Rhaenys replies that while war will follow, it is not her place to declare war; she only brought the warning out of loyalty to her house and husband.
Rhaenys advises Rhaenyra to leave Dragonstone with her family before the Greens come for her, when Rhaenyra doubles over in pain. She reaches beneath her dress, her fingers coming away bloody; the shock of the news has sent her into premature labor.
When Celeste hears news it was from Rhaenys as well, she had got to her room to tell her what happened. Knowing how she and Aegon were because Alicent had gone over it a bit in trying to convince her to join them.
"Aegon didn't want to become King though. He's always hated the thought." Celeste tells her.
"He didn't look thrilled when crowned. His mind looked like he was somewhere else."
"I'm sure he'll find away out of this." She paces around.
"I doubt he can. Alicent and Otto aren't going to let him. He'll be their puppet, Celeste. When he heard news of the Kings passing he tried to run away and failed." Celeste shakes her head leave to go help Rhaenyra hearing her scream out in pain.
As Rhaenyra struggles with her labor pains, attended to Maester Gerardys and several midwives, fearful because Rhaenyra's pregnancy is far from full term. While in her chambers, a screaming Rhaenyra, ignoring the offers of the midwives to help her, gives birth to a stillborn daughter that she had planned to name Visenya.
A small funeral was going to be held the next day, and everyone was getting ready at the moment. Celeste had already got the girls dressed and they were running around outside to get all their energy out first. As she starts to hear people yelling she asks the girls to get closer to her.
"What's happening?" She asks as a few guards rush past her.
"We spotted a dragon flying around that's not ours." He tells her quickly.
Turning her attention back to her girls, she realizes Astraea wandered off then finds her not too far away looking for something. "Why did you run off?"
