At Starnberg Lake, there circulated a peculiar legend: the Duchy's previous mad king, Ludwig, due to his long-term neglect of political affairs, had incited dissatisfaction and a coup among the high-level internal members of the Duchy. Eventually, he was overthrown and imprisoned by his family and then one day, died in Starnberg Lake.
Officially, it was said he died by drowning, but what was strange was that the autopsy proved there was no water in his lungs. After that, successive reports from residents emerged, claiming to have seen Ludwig's ghost wandering on the lake's surface, evading the soldiers who had plotted his murder.
