The King Sat Next to Me

Emily, an ordinary American girl, accidentally sat on a hard "stone" in Central Park—only to find it emitting a agonizing scream. The stone was not merely inanimate but sealed King Arthur, bound by a sinister curse. What shocked Emily even more was that everyday objects like furniture, road signs, and trash bins worldwide actually imprisoned members of royal families. According to ancient royal laws, whoever first sat upon one of these objects would automatically inherit the throne. By chance, Emily became the new queen, inadvertently awakening the hidden organization of usurpers lurking beneath modern society. Its leader, Reynolds, launched a frenzied hunt to seize the ancient Royal Ring that controls all royal members. With the help of the proud King Arthur and the gradually awakened "furniture" -based royals, Emily transformed from a panicked ordinary girl into someone mastering the power of royal bonds. Traveling between modern cities and the hidden magical realm, she repeatedly rescued imprisoned royals until ultimately defeating Reynolds, restoring order to the modern royal system and becoming a true legendary empress.
