House of the Dragon season 2, episode 6, sees King Aegon II return to consciousness and surprisingly lies, suggesting he doesn't recall Aemond trying to murder him.    Following the Battle of Rook's Rest, where the Blacks and Greens met on the field for the first dragon battle of the war, King Aegon has been in recovery.    Aegon was betrayed by his younger brother at a pivotal moment during the battle when Aemond arrived and targeted him with dragonfire.

   Despite being lit ablaze, sent to the ground, and brutally injured, Aegon survived.

In season 2, episode 5, Aegon was still out of commission as he recovered from his wounds, secretly being brought back into King's Landing as the Greens announced the battle as a great victory to the public.    In the absence of the king, Aemond was declared Prince Regent, making the betrayal worthwhile for him on all accounts as he ascended the throne in his brother's place.

   Upon Aegon's awakening at the end of House of the Dragon season 2, episode 6, Aemond arrives at his older brother's bedside, asking him what he remembers of the battle.
