Implications about the Kingsguard of Aegon III

[Lord Varys]

With no longer two KG accompanying Willis Fell in his death, there are some interesting implications for the Kingsguard of Aegon III to consider:

I speculated that Julian Wormwood, the other knight accompanying Marston Waters and Tyland Lannister to Essos in search of sellswords, may have been the missing KG of Aegon II. We do have Gyles Belgrave and three others dying/going to the Wall, with Fell, Waters, and an unknown third remaining - who could be Wormwood.

Later we do learn that apparently only Fell and Waters remain from Aegon II's old Kingsguard since the five other spots are all filled with Blacks (which Wormwood wouldn't be). So one could assume Julian Wormwood - if he was a KG - never returned from Essos, perhaps because he died.

With Unwin Peake then only filling two spots after the deaths of Regis Grovis and Willis Fell there would have been a considerable number of (former) Blacks among Aegon III's Kingsguard at the point of the Secret Siege, especially after Ser Amaury was slain by Sandoq the Shadow.

This could then, perhaps, help explain why Waters decided to (re-)discover his allegiance to Aegon III - because not all men he was serving with can be considered Peake cronies.

Prior to this change we had pretty good reason to believe had filled four empty spots in the KG offscreen while he dominated court, meaning Peake/Flowers/Waters and their cabal could have potentially been expected to have had more sway at court than is reasonable in this new scenario.
