<\/p>\nA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 3 concluded with a shocking revelation about the true identity of Egg, the young squire. Accordingly, there\u2019s growing curiosity surrounding his origin and background.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finally reveals Egg\u2019s real name<\/p>\n
Based on George R.R. Martin\u2019s iconic books, the show follows the adventures of the honorable but poor knight Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his clever young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). The series is rich with connective tissue to the wider Targaryen saga. The first two A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episodes carefully built the pair\u2019s dynamic, with Egg hiding a monumental secret under his common clothes and shorn head.<\/p>\n
The episode, aptly titled \u201cThe Squire,\u201d planted a clue to the mystery midway through. A fortune teller gives a chilling prophecy to the boy: \u201cYou shall be king\u2026 and die in a hot fire, and worms shall feed upon your ashes, and all who know you shall rejoice in your dying.\u201d Dunk laughs it off, but a shaken Egg is left to ponder, \u201cWhy would she say that?\u201d<\/p>\n
The answer comes by the end of episode 3. When the cruel Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett) attacks Dunk and prepares to brutalize him, Egg leaps to his knight\u2019s defense. \u201cNo! Don\u2019t touch him!\u201d he shouts. Dunk warns that guards will harm him instead. Egg then boldly declares, \u201cNo, they won\u2019t, and if they do, they\u2019ll have to answer to my father!\u201d<\/p>\n
A bewildered Aerion retorts, \u201cYou impudent little rat. What\u2019s happened to your hair?\u201d Egg\u2019s response changed everything: \u201cI cut it off brother, I didn\u2019t want to look like you.\u201d With that, fans got to know that Egg is short for Aegon. He is Prince Aegon V Targaryen, younger brother to Aerion and son of Prince Maekar.<\/p>\n
Episode 3 ending shocked many fans<\/p>\n
The episode 3 reveal electrified the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms fandom. One fan exclaimed on X (formerly Twitter), \u201cEGG IS A PRINCE! #akotsk.\u201d <\/p>\n
Another quipped, \u201call the dynamics itself of a knight of the seven kingdoms are good, but this moment when egg reveals himself as aegon targaryen reached the peak for me.\u201d <\/p>\n
Others appreciated the timing. One user wrote, \u201cEgg\u2019s identity comes out on #AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms Season 1 Episode 3, and the timing is just perfect \u2014 both for shock value and to show the friendship that has formed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fans can watch what happens next as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 4 will release early on Friday, February 6.<\/p>\n
