So what was Aegon into? What was the whore house owner implying
I think she was just implying that even a brothel with a front door has some standards

Why was Aegon just chilling underneath the sept center? Drugged? Sleeping? Hiding?

That’s where he got dropped off after the lady with the spies got paid.

What was the reason for two separate factions looking for him? Was Otto planning to kill him so that Aemond could be on the throne?

I’m guessing Rhanys decided she didn’t have the authority to execute that entire branch of the royal family. She probably is going to regret that…

Rhanys needs all the claimants killed off, not just one wing of them.

I think Otto wanted him so that he would declare Rhaenyra a traitor and to be executed

The one that controls the King, controls everything. Aegon is pliable enough at this point that Alicent knew if she got ahold of him she may be able to prevent him from killing Rhaenyra as the council and Otto wants.

Honestly Aemond would be a badass king in my opinion.

She should have just torched the lot

Wasn't about executing at all - she wanted to send a message.

Holy shite the queen is satisfying Larys foot fetish.

From a tactical perspective she also saw the people accepted him. Killing him at that point could also cause a major revolt that loses Kings Landing for everyone.

She would also be a Kinslayer which is a big thing in that world. Not to mention, having the capital city witness her frying the former royal family is probably not a good way to win hearts and minds for the next Targaryan ruler- they will just assume another Maegor has come.

Found a good article on why she didn’t

The largest of these reasons is practical: An entire auditorium of people was cheering for the newly crowned King, and murdering him and his host there would be regicide, no matter who the rightful or supposed heir actually was. Sure, Rhaenyra could have stepped into the power vacuum, but The Realm’s Delight would have instantly been seen as a terror, and the Queen Who Never Was as a murderous accomplice without even a shred of honor. With a single act, Rhaenys would have thrown the entire Targaryen dynasty into a moment of profound weakness over the continent they rule. And an act of outright violence and treason could have sent King’s Landing (not to mention the rest of Westeros) into total chaos. This kind of conflict is why wars are fought, and winning is only supposed to be worth it if what you’re fighting for is still around when you’re the last one standing.

Aside from the political ramifications of roasting the royal family, there’s also an equally strong superstitious reason Rhaenys didn’t kill Aegon: kinslaying. According to Westerosi tradition, no one is as cursed as a kinslayer, meaning that those who kill members of their own family are often beset by horrible tragedies and thought of as monsters. When the full Targaryen civil war does break out, kinslaying will be a nearly inevitable side effect, but for Rhaenys, it’s possible that the idea of killing so many of her own family, in such a short time, in front of thousands of onlookers, was simply too much to bear. While the eventual death and consequences of letting everyone live may seem obvious, a simple act like this proves that Westeros’ traditions haven’t all fallen away just yet, no matter who sits the throne — at least for now.
