I had thought that the lich cave and Romeo's house were connected as in the lich used to be a guy named Romeo. Some witch cursed Romeo by turning him into a lich. There could have been a quest attached to the whole thing. Your character hunts down the witch that did this to him, you kill the witch, get the spell that reverses the curse, and then turn Romeo back to his human form.
Now that Romeo is back to his human form, he needs you to find his long lost lover that the note on the bed is addressed to.
I tend to have an active imagination.
