thought of alicent or otto forcing a marriage on o!aemond and nearly lost it when I realized that he would have no one to turn to for help, like at first I thought “hey he could just go to his father” and then it clicked, why would he go to him when they’ve never been close as most father and sons, he didn’t even defend him during driftmark and I seriously doubt he would be comfortable with asking for help from a person who has let him down time and time again…💔😭💔😭💔😭💔 viserys will pay for his actions in blood! omg 😭😭😭😭
Yeah, in that situation, Aemond would be completely helpless and the devil you know is better than the devil you don't so Aemond would have to just go along for the sake of his duty and to keep his mother and grandfather pleased with him. He wouldn't want to lose their support, what little of it that he had while he was useful to them. There was certainly no one else he could turn to. His father had made it abundantly clear that he was of no help years ago, Aegon was a drunk and Helaena just didn't have the motivation for such things. Criston may want to help him escape this, the man was as close to a father as he would ever have but that would certainly cause trouble for him if he was found out and that was the last thing that Aemond would want. So he would just have to bear it. It's also worse for him if he must travel to his husband's estate. He has never known anywhere else but the Red Keep. My baby is going to be suffering.
