Prodigal Child

My heart aches, the elderly noble implores you. My life is near its end, and my heir won't return to me, even with the inheritance they are due. All I want is to see them one last time. Please go to them, tell them I am sorry. Their place is here as the head of the household. Without them, the family line ends with me.

The truth of the relationship between the parent and child, and the steps your players must take to reunite them, is left to the imagination of the GM.
