At best, it would take Gaia 8 days to build the city. She already has a plan, so the next best thing is to start building.
But since that was just 8 hours on the outside, Kent decided to spend them there. Once they are done migrating, he will head to Planet Bayla, which is much closer to the edge of this galaxy.
Words had already spread throughout the floating island city that the ones who had come to their rescue were Liora, their Princess, who many thought was dead, and her husband, Kent Madson.
Yuyin sold the narrative maybe too well, making sure that all who saw Liora as human and thus never wanted her to be their Princess and future Queen would change their minds.
Nobody would be stupid enough to look down on the wife of the legendary Kent Madson. It just isn't something anybody would dare do.
So when Kent returned to the island, and Liora wasn't back with her aunt yet, he decided to take a walk.
He is already famous, so he would not face any resistance or scrutiny.
