Well, the prospective bride follows Castelaine, which was the explanation of why she would not ask for something to be stolen.
I had another thought of how this could be done, if you didn't want to make it a focus just yet. Start by running an extended contest representing the negotiation between the two of them, and do one exchange per session for a few sessions. Set the difficulty such that the poor player is not apt to do well early on.
Then offer some adventure which should offer a huge augment later on (make that one a play session). If he can pull off this impossible thing (say recover a lost heirloom….that was lost by her father when gambling with a trickster, and she's heard that there is going to be a gathering of tricksters at the tower of tricksters off the coast, and if the player's character could just get it back….)
