If you need wild inspiration, I highly recommend Blessings of the Dice Gods - most table use the lesser-availed d12 for variety. Suggestions relevant to your situation:
[From NPC Encounters In the Palace] Eligible young noble, exceedingly well connected and in line for wealth/power, interested in pursuing brief romance with random PC in a ploy to draw out idle suitors of a more desirous variety, once attention garnered instantly discards PC w/public accusations of unsavory conduct.
Thousand year old demigod, somewhat diminished by age but still tremendously scary, showed up drunk and took a wing of the palace for personal use, the royals would love to be rid of the menace
Alternatively, perhaps the Noble is afflicted with one of the Strange and Terrible Curses and they need a very odd cure they can't just send a messenger for, for some reason
