At the end of season 2 of the Game of Thronesprequel House of the Dragon, Master of Whisperers Larys Strong (Matthew Needham) secretly flees King’s Landing with the grievously injured King Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney). Larys stole most of the kingdom’s gold and his plan is to wait out the Targaryen civil war in Essos and return with Aegon once Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and Aegon’s ruthless younger brother Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) have sufficiently weakened each other. But in season 3, that plan is not going great.
