If you wish, let him immediately come to see us. Since we have a need and if you tell him you would like him to, I am sure that, with God's grace, he will give us some useful and good counsel."
The sorrowful Giulla approved of this, the confessor was immediately called for and they told him everything, and asked him to give the tearful girl advice.
He answered the young girl, saying to her, “Daughter, we must never despair because of any strange misfortune that happens to us. On the contrary, by having recourse to Christ, we may implore him for help. Because he never abandons, whoever trusts in him. Therefore, first of all, you and I together must appease the wrath of the lord through prayer and fasting. And pray to Him that in view of our sins, he may help us in our time of great need.
Then, if it happens that you, Giulla, are led before the King, after you have paid him due reverence, you must say to him, "Sire, since I truly know that you have decided that I will be your spouse, because of the great and perfect love that you have for me, I beg you please, that you will not deny me the first grace that I ask from you. Which is that before the celebration of our wedding, you will grant me forty days of time in a room of your guarded palace, in order to satisfy some of my needs."
