The Warble of a Smitten Knight is a secondary quest in Toussaint from Blood and Wine. It opens at the Tourney Grounds once Geralt has beaten the shaelmaar in The Beast of Toussaint. Guillaume, a young knight hurt in that fight, is in love with the lady-in-waiting Vivienne. He fears that she is under a curse. Geralt takes his place in the tourney to stay close to her and find out the truth.

Choices

---

The name Geralt gives at the inscription tent decides one fight. As Geralt of Rivia, he faces Prince Anséis in a mounted duel. As Ravix of Fourhorn, he fights Tailles and his thugs. Refusing the duel is not a real choice, because it would get Geralt thrown out of the tourney.

In the woods, Geralt learns Vivienne's secret. A curse placed on her before birth turns her into a bird under the moon. Geralt knows two ways to lift it. The curse can pass to another person, who carries a weaker form of it. Or Geralt can use an oriole egg, which may cut Vivienne's life down to the few years an oriole lives.

The real choice comes back at camp. If Geralt reveals the secret, Guillaume takes the curse on himself. The ritual works, and the two end up happy together. If Geralt keeps the secret, he uses the egg. Vivienne is free, but her life will be short, and Guillaume is left unhappy.
