Read the excerpt from "Gawayne.""What is it?" asked Sir Gawayne." Can I help you to perform your vow?""Yes, you can, fair nephew Gawayne, but I will never ask you to do a thing so terrible," said King Arthur."I am ready to do it, uncle, were it to wed the loathly lady herself.""That is what she asks, that a fair young knight should marry her. But she is too hideous and deformed; no man could make her his wife.""If that is all your grief," replied Sir Gawayne, "things shall soon be settled; I will wed this ill-favoured (favored) dame, and will be your ransom."

D
does not want to marry the lady.
Explanation
Sir Gawayne agrees to marry the loathly lady because doing so will save King Arthur from his vow. He even says he will be the king’s “ransom,” showing that he is deeply devoted to his uncle, not that he is in love with the lady.
