Maybe it's because Lucien doesn't call him a out on his bullshit. Literally. Or he loves being the senpai to our kouhai. Having someone to mentor in dragonriding probably boosts his confidence.

Currently, he's actually an agnostic Seven Worshiper (As Atheistic as one can get without outright being it). In fact, he doesn't like the Seven and its hierarchy at all. finding it far to restrictive for his tastes
Plus much of the lads he works with do their prayers but that is about it.
But yeah Lucien is gonna be very martial, personally combat, dragon riding and maybe a little bit of intrigue from Daemon. Lucien and Daemon can be a pretty dangerous combination. Two dragon riders with pretty big dragons. Not to mention any connections both of them make.

The Rogue Prince:
Prince Daemon: The Rogue Prince, the exact opposite of his brother, callus, intelligent, and daring. He is a brilliant warrior, a Dragonriders of great power, with a powerful dragon by his side in the Blood Wyrm. There is just one problem. He does not like being told what to do, and he is expected to return to his wife, Rhea, the Bronze of Gulltown. However, he might jump at an opportunity to leave the Vale. If you catch his interest and attention
The Gods of Valyria: Your mother was a follower of the three goddesses of Valyria, and while not as present as others during the last few decades of Rule, the storm singers still sing the songs of Valyria.
Religion Set to The Gods of Valyria: An ancient and powerful pantheon that once dominated the world. Now they are weak and cling to the glories of the Past. They are told that the Storm Singers can predict the weather and can read the skies, even on the back of Dragonriders. They have many peculiar traditions, from polygamy to sister/brother marriage, to even blood sacrifice. While a minority in Westeros, they are mostly left alone by faith.
Stats:
The Eastern hatred(The Eastern Religions do not accept this faith, and wish to see it exterminated, seeing it as the last vestiges of an empire that deserved to die. -5 to all social rolls when interacting with people that hail from the east)
Polygamy (You can marry multiple women and it is endorsed by your faith.)
Divine Blood Marriage (Marriage between siblings and parents is encouraged. Your line has a reduced chance of suffering from the effects of incest)
The Sky Watchers (When Flying on your dragon, gain an additional +20 to your rolls, regardless of your or your dragon's condition)
Religious Minority: (This faith is a Religious Minority, and while it is not actually stamped out, there are not many worshipers there in Westeros. You are alone. Finding others like you is extremely difficult)
Rumors of Dragonblood: (If your blood gets onto your dragon, unknown effect)
Divine intervention (The Gods are Watching, but for what, you do not know)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Prince Daemon was ever dashing, daring, and dangerous in his eyes. He looked bored with the entire thing, being summoned against his will. You could see the anger on his face, but he was accepting of the interesting proposition.
As he walked into the council chambers, his ashen blonde hair was behind his back and he wore a strange, catlike smile on his face, and a lazy glint in his eyes. Yet once he saw the King, immediately he straightened himself. "Grandfather, what is this fine afternoon that requires my attention?"
Then he saw you, swaying your legs in the chair. You were trying your best to not be seen. Or rather, be seen as something other than a silent child.
He raised an eyebrow. "Grandfather, you can't be serious?"
"I am, the child is a dragon rider, and he is not of royal blood. I know you have wished much to leave the Vale and your Lady wife, and if that is your wish, then I shall grant it." The Old King smiled as he then clapped his hands. "The boy's name is Lucien, he rides the Dragon Grey Ghost… You remember that wild one from Dragonstone you boasted about wishing to claim before Cyrax?"
Daemon was quiet, his mind going through many different questions. "Why?"
"Did you not listen-" The Old king started.
"No, but why me?" He huffed. "Everyone seems to think that I struggle for your attention, your respect, and never be given it, but here and now, you show me what I have always wanted. And instead of honor, you give me a child?"
The Old King waited, for a moment to see if Daemon would say more. Yet he was quiet, waiting for the answer from his grandfather.
"Because I know you Daemon. You hate being told what to do. So I am giving you the freedom that you so desire. In exchange for training the boy in all you know." There was a smile. "I cannot grant you the divorce you want from Rhae, but with this responsibility, you can be away from your home, unless summoned, by myself or my hand to do your duties."
Daemon was shocked at the words. "Thank you, Your Grace-"
"Good, now take the boy, and his dragon, and go." He ordered. "I have little use for you at court, and no desire to have you interpret more important matters." You stood up, and Daemon bowed his head. "Now, go, Wander Westeros looking for your purpose my child. And see if that child will give you it."
"And the boy's parents? They approved?"
"They will return to Dragonstone, and serve the Prince, and they have approved." The Old King replied.
--------------------------------------------------------------
You looked at the pony and then at the saddle. "Do you speak?" He asked as he finally spoke to you. The Dragons were flying above Kingswood, looking for game.
You nodded, and shook your head, making it certain he saw it.
"Brilliant, you're mute." He said. "Of course, bloody Grandfather never mentioned that. And I can't just give you back, otherwise, I'd be proving him right." A moment passed as you looked at the Prince, and he raised an eyebrow. "Fine. You know how to ride?"
You nodded no, and the Prince sighed. "Fuck." He then looked at the pony, and he waved you closer. "Alright, first, get your left foot into the stirrup, and then throw your other leg over. But when mounting, always start on the left side, and come from the front, so you do not scare the horse."
You were mounted properly, with Daemon helping you when your foot was caught on the saddle, lifting it over. "There." He said as he looked at his horse.
You then signed. "Where are we going?"
Daemon's eyebrow raised. "What are you doing with your hands?"
You facepalmed. "I communicate with my hands."
Daemon then looked forward. "Well then, come on, give the reins of a flick, and follow me. And do not leave my sight." He ordered, as he then mounted his own horse, and began to move.
And you were off on a journey to whatever you were going. And for a moment, you thought there was a Smile on the Rogue Prince's face.
Must be the light?

There's one Action less in this Plan then it should be. We can choose another Personal one.
Also, the Plan won't count when written like this.

Plan is now fixed.
Don't we have a debuff for lying? Would learning the skill remove it? If not, it seems kind of ill-advised to continue pushing for lying until the debuff is removed.
Edit: Apparently, it was temporary? It was described as an unknown negative effect during the Court Adventure...

The debuff was applied for failing to learn the skill, now we're running a blank slate. I think.

These social seems like good choices to get close to Daemon. For skills to learn Riding Dragons and Horses seem pretty important. Also need a combat skill.
What does the Dragon Commanding skill do exactly?

That is actually something that will come Later, when you are a little bit older, and when Daemon and your parents start to address the issue.
Because guess what, your family, adopted and otherwise are competent, and also care for your well being.
That already passed. And it didn't happen, due to you not going towards other places.
However, I have not given you the Dragon bonus yet... but don't worry, it will be revealed in time.
Indeed, since you did not meet Otto Hightower, you weren't subject to that.
Or him to start seeing us as his kid...
Wait he hasn't already?
It allows you to command other dragons and riders. If you are in charge of course.
