He lifted his hand gesturing one of the servants over to him. When he approached, the king stood up, threw back the seat of his throne and told the servant to take out from inside what seemed to be a small chest, and then ordered him to move back to the doors.
Dear native English Speakers!
Please let me know if the idea is clear here or if I should add something.
The chest was INSIDE the throne, the King just opened the latter, its seat being a lid or cover that can be thrown back.
My translation from Russian, it is.
Thank you!
