Viserys did mumble something about Aegon and the Song of Ice and Fire and the Prince that was promised, but then went on to say "it is you" and "you are the one" to Alicent. This, combined with Rhaenys remarks to Alicent about her being on the iron throne, has me thinking the battle for the throne won't be between Rhaenyra and one of the sons with Alicent as a proxy, but directly between Rhaenyra and Alicent. Obviously this means the two sons need to be out of the picture. I think it is easy to see Aegon being taken care of very soon, but Aemond is too good of a villain to be taken out of the show. I can see the potential though for an additional power struggle happening between Alicent and Aemond.
