History is like a harlot; anyone can manipulate it. Kings and noblemen are naturally legendary, but without proper handling, Duncan can only support them. That's just the lower limit; the upper limit has to rely on themselves.
The same earliest woman to follow Duncan, the Crow Queen Triss can ascend to godhood, while Anya remains a five-star whiteboard.
There's nothing to be done about it.
Duncan can't support Anya at all costs. Sometimes, they need to rely on their own efforts so Duncan can help them break through the ceiling's upper limit.
Even the women closest to him can't defy destiny by force. They must lay a solid foundation by themselves.
