He is an honorable man and Starks do not shirk their oaths.
We cannot rely on that to remain the same. For a while, it was only you and Alicent. I do not doubt that Aemond has begun to twist the truth of the matter to others here. Baela told me his version of events after Aunt Laena's funeral are quite... selective. ( which paint him and Baela in a light worse than the reality of the situation. )
I have heard whispers of a Stark here. Have you had cause to meet them?
Of course he would recall that the circumstances by which he lost his eye were unprovoked, but there were cruel words exchanged that day and even crueler allegations made. Luke always maintained that he was defending himself, and I had no reason to distrust him.
A Stark? No. I have not but I have found another who claims she is our descendant. ( and he would have found Cregan if he were here. Surely. )
He had me on the ground, mother, with a rock raised to smash in my head. Luke did it to protect me. ( and Jaceβs suggestion eventually lead to his brave baby brother to his death. )
Daenerys. Yes, she believes she is a descendant of our line, rather than the enemy's. She has asserted her fealty to our side as well.
[ but she also can't underestimate aemond's powers of persuasion, as well as the lengths he might go to in order to threaten one who is of her blood. ]
I do not know when he began to carry such enmity towards you or your brother. Perhaps it had to do with him claiming a dragon so late in life.
We were not kind to him as children, it is true. But we were children all the same and Aegon was no kinder. ( and even though Jace is-- was only two years older than Luke, the younger was still his baby brother in his eyes. )
And now Aegon lies abed, suffering from grievous wounds. It is unclear whether his brother may have been the cause of those as well. [ so many reports from rook's rest had been conflicting β aegon had ridden sunfyre into battle, only to be met in the sky by both meleys and vhagar, but how had both dragon and rider been burned so terribly? ]
