Didn't Daemon just wanted Aemond killed?
He did, but when they asked him what to do if they cant find him the scene paned out to Daemon's face and then it cut. Then later on they say that he said ''A son for a son'' he never told them that in the scene itself so this must have been his response when the scene cut as to what to do if they cant find Aemond.
And Daemon isnt dumb lol, there are 3 sons in Team Green. Aemond, Aegon and Jahaerys. He knew they would go for the easiest target, The King is constantly surrounded by Kingsguards, Aemond he just told them hes quite the capable fighter and Jaherys is a kid lol.
So yeah he probably knew there was a high likelyhood they would kill the kid. And he was fine in it, because Daemon wants war.
Son for a son isn't bad, some might've wanted entire family extinguished. That'd have been badass.
True but when one death is an accident and the other is planned and its the murder of a child, I find it hard to root for Team Black after that.
Rhaenyra will probably forgive Daemon for murdering a child lol, which is whack as fuck.
(also i don't remember entirety of S1, i had to watch last two eps of S1 to recollect some of the lost memories).
Well she is a murderer lol, remember her gay husband? They faked his death and killed another guy to pass it off as him so that she could marry Daemon.
