This clue could be a double definition.

'making a request' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'throne?' is the second definition.

'from the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asking that I've seen before include "Posing a question" , "It demands explanation!" , "Inquiring" , "Inquiry" , "Enquiring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
