Marcus was not aware of the situation in Albion Kingdom is after the sudden death of their Crown Prince, but Marcus' soul had somehow transmigrated to Leonard Wembley's body, the youngest of Paul Wembley. This meant little Leo had died by an unknown person in his own family home.
He did not know the reason for the murder. He did not know who had murdered Leo. Although he didn't know Leo until now, Marcus felt ache in his heart remembering the last moments of Leo's life. He knew that was from the remnant of Leo's remaining soul.
Although he was sad about Leo's death, he was also grateful for his second chance at life. He was killed by Cymry Kingdom and Leo was killed by unknown assailant. He felt vengeance coursing through his blood. Although he could not take revenge for himself, for now he could help Leo with his troubles. He need to grow stronger before he could do anything about his own revenge.
Fortunately for him, Leonard was just eighteen years old. He may be on the chubby side, but with a strict training regiment, he could get his strength back in half year's time. This gave him plenty of time to plan and execute his revenge.
Unfortunately, for Leo's killer, Prince Marcus had taken his place. To the outside world, Leonard was a fat nerd. But being merged into his body and soul, Marcus understood the pain and sufferings Leonard had faced.
'Thank you, Leo, for lending me your body. In return, I swear to you that I, Marcus Roland, the crown prince of Albion Kingdom, will avenge your death and will make the ones called you delinquent to kneel. No I will make sure the entire world kneels down to you."
****************
Marcus opened his eyes after a few hours. He was still in the same hospital bed.
"Finally decided to wake up?" An angry familiar voice made Marcus completely startled.
A guy in his fifties wearing a brown lose suit was sitting on the sofa beside him. Marcus knew the person very well.
In front of him was none other than the Paul Wembley, the CEO of the Wembley Group and father to Leo and beside him was a slim young lady in her black jacket, white blouse and black skirt. She was the Personal Secretory of Paul, Lucy.
"D...dad..." Marcus felt weird to call him father. But he had to get familiar with it for everything to go smoothly.
"How dare you call me dad, you rascal?" Paul jumped up from the sofa in anger.
"What?" Marcus was confused with the sudden question.
"I left you to your own because I thought you would grow up. But instead you were doing drugs?"
"Drugs..? What drugs?" He asked.
"The same pills that you overdosed and choked on with"
"What are you talking about dad? I was..."
"Enough talking. If the maids had found you a little later, you would have died, overdosed in my home. Where did you even get those drugs from?" Paul interrupted the confused Marcus.
"But Dad..." Marcus tried to explain.
"Enough, I said. I don't care what you wanna say. Whatever sh*t you wanna do from now on do it outside my house." Paul continued
"Once you get discharged from the Hospital, you will collect your luggage from Lucy and you are to leave wherever sh*thole you want. But don't you dare drag Wembley family name with you" Screamed Paul.
Then he turned to Lucy, his personal secretory and ordered,
"Lucy, make the necessary arrangements. Also make sure the media never finds out about this. It might become a headache."
"Understood, sir" Lucy replied
Paul turned to Leo. "I don't want a son who is not only dimwit, but dares to drugs in my own home. I am cutting you off from my family registry. And don't even dream making your siblings for help. I have already ordered them not to help you even if you beg on your knees to them"
"I will transfer you some money to settle down. Other than that, you will not receive a single dime from my family. Am I clear?"
"..."
"I said, AM I CLEAR?" This was the first time he ever heard Paul shout.
"Y...yes, sir" He replied instantly.
"Very well. Let's go, Lucy." Paul then turned and walked off the room.
Marcus was once again alone in the room. He was wronged and was not even given a chance to explain. He was feeling a weird sensation of discomfort. Why was he feeling scared? Why has this man's anger making him anxious?
Marcus always a calm and collected person. Even at the moment of death he would chose to smile rather than being scared. He never feared even at the door-step of death.
He found the answer to that question very soon. It was not that Marcus was scared, even though Marcus had taken over the body and soul of little Leo, the remnants of Leo's soul lying inside the heart. Little Leo had always been a scared little kid. Leo's heart was anxious feeling the rage of his father, even though he was the victim in the situation. He was murdered in his own home, but somebody covered it up. Leo's soul was angry and sad at the same time.
'Just ignore your father Leo. I know how much you suffered because he simply did not have the time to care for you. Take this situation as a minor setback. I am pretty sure somebody is afraid and already took steps to cover up.'
'Drugs? Is that how you wanna play. Then let's see how long you can hide in the shadows dear murderer. Even if you are a few steps ahead, you are messing with the wrong person. Leo might have been a scared little boy, but I am not. Because when I strike you won't even get a chance of regret. Whoever you are."
The words of Marcus seems to soothe Leo. Marcus felt his soul suddenly became calm.
"Well it's good that I can stay in the hospital for one more day. It gives me time to plan my next action." Marcus smirked and decided to make some plans for the time before discharging in hospital.
