They proceeded towards him, as they were instructed to do by Giassemen, greeted him with due reverence and kissed his hands. But the King who was dumbfounded by all of this, seemed to recognize them and said to himself, “Is it not true that she is my wife, and the other one can only be her first husband Feristeno, whom I had thrown into the sea. And if this is not the case, then, truly, I must be dreaming."
Giassemen, made it seem that he had not noticed anything, and said, "Sire, please, why are you so thoughtful?"
The King who wanted to ascertain what he had seen, replied to this, “I just remembered something for which I have to return to my palace immediately. But, don't leave here because I shall soon be back with you again." Having said this, he left immediately.
Whereupon Giassemen realized that he wanted to go to Giulistano to see whether Giulla was there. So, he had her dress in the same clothes she had on before and led her to her room via the secret tunnel. Not long thereafter the King arrived and when he found the young woman there, there were no words to describe how surprised he was. And after he had remained with her for some time, amazed and full of wonder, he was anxious beyond measure to see the young couple again which he had seen previously, and he returned to Giassemen's palace. Giulla had arrived before him.
