King's Palace(Part1)

In ancient Eastern legends, it is told that one of the great kings decided to build a magnificent palace to immortalize his name and reign. He wanted the main hall of this palace to be column-free while still being grand and majestic.

The king's failure left him deeply depressed and furious until it was finally revealed that an exceptional and legendary architect named Soomar was capable of accomplishing this task.
