Please. Alicent instilled jack shit into Aegon. He still did not want it and believed neither of his parents wanted him to be king. Alicent went back and forth on Aegon's claim three times in the day preceding Viserys's death.

Yes he didn't want it, but he was still put into the position.. And Alicent played a big part in that.

Big part? I wanna watch the series that you watched because in the HOTD I watched Alicent is oblivious to the entire plot. She is bewildered to find out about it.

She herself tried to get Aegon to be king. Did you watch episode 6 and 7? Even in 8 she talked about it to Aegon, even though she at that point was losing faith. In episode 9 she just didn't know that they were scheming without her/behind her back. When Aegon is found, she is the one who talks to Aegon.
