They may not really be in love, but after Guigemar notices the invisible wound of love, he says "that she has her source in nature" (Marie de France 49). By nature, humans are known to be motivated by a constant pursuit of what they desire, because by succeeding in this pursuit, they are happy. Love brings happiness to Guigemar and the queen, but their happiness comes for a greater cause than true love. The lovers were easy to go about their own business. Guigemar served the queen as a commodity by giving her a value of freedom, and the queen freed Guigemar from pain. Finally, Guigemar fled with the queen after defending her against Meriaduc, thus putting an end to his troubles. Desire is therefore a selfish inclination towards love, because its basis is whatever suits a person's tastes. The Queen and Guigemar are made for each other, but they are not meant to be in love with each other.
