The duchess was in love with and loved by [[Dandelion]], who referred to her as "his little weasel". About seven years before [[Geralt]] arrived, while Raymund was in [[Cintra]], Dandelion made the duchess fall in love with him and they met secretly for about two months. When the people found out, word got back to Raymund about the relationship, and he threatened to tear out Dandelion's heart, roast it and force the Duchess to eat it. So Dandelion fled Toussaint. Luckily for Dandelion, Raymund later died of apoplexy. When the bard heard the news while traveling with Geralt, he returned to her.

After the bard's return, things went well for
a while
, with the Duchess and Dandelion carrying on their torrid affair, but true to form, Dandelion could not keep his wandering eyes to himself. He was discovered in the arms of the Baroness [[Veronique|Nique]] and sentenced to death by Anarietta. However, she had a last minute change of heart and merely banished him from the duchy forever.

: ''While searching for the Beast, the duchess proved that, when the need arose, she was able to throw off the chains of convention and get her hands dirty with direct action alongside the witcher. Even if she had to do so in a state of relative dishabille.''

: ''Surprisingly enough, the duchess handled the rigors of the trail as adroitly as she did those of palace audiences. Geralt quickly saw how, even when stripped of her sumptuous gown and wrapped in a coarse cloak, Anna Henrietta remained the same confident and tenacious ruler as ever. Yet then again, this should not have come as a surprise, for the Toussaint court on a daily basis hosted battles of cutting remarks, malicious half-truths and bald-faced lies that were just as fierce as any fought with sword and cannon. The duchess was an unchallenged master of this courtly warfare, and the witcher had the chance to make use of this experience.''

: ''If Geralt thought the tales of Her Illustrious Grace's implacable wrath were exaggerated, he quickly was shown how greatly he was mistaken. As soon as Anna Henrietta learned the vampire had not only escaped, but had also threatened the life of her sister, she flew into a rage that precluded all discussion. She presented matters very clearly: Geralt was to complete his contract and bring her Dettlaff's head on a silver platter.''

'''If Syanna survived and Geralt convinced her to forgive her sister:'''

:: ''Luckily, the duchess' wrath burned with an intense but short-lasting heat. When Geralt managed to stop Dettlaff, Her Grace forgot all about his previous missteps and even awarded the witcher the Order of Vitis Vinifera, Toussaint's highest honor.''

'''If Syanna survived but Geralt failed to get her to forgive her sister:'''

:: ''The same compassion and loyalty which earned her the love of her subjects proved Anna Henrietta's doom, leading to her murder at the hands of her own sister. Ever since that tragic day, Toussaint has celebrated an annual Week of Memory. For these seven days, the duchy enters into mourning: music stops, lights are shuttered and people hang dark curtain in their homes. They say all those who were fond of the duchess do likewise, even those who live far away, in the North...''
