Honestly, thinking it over, 'consecutive' is kind of a meaningless word for me to have used. I mean, as opposed to what? Your being killed yourself in between assassinations? So yeah, I think it's fair to call any number of successful assassinations you've survived doing 'consecutive'.
Truth be told, the Leicester Alliance that I ran before heading back to Almyra was a ruling council of nobles, which...sounds a bit like what you're describing, I suppose. It was interesting, coming from a country of kings only to end up de facto leading a country that doesn't have them. If I've got nothing else going for me as king, I doubt any other king in history has had the benefit of getting experience beforehand in ruling a whole other country under a completely different style of government. If I can't use that expertise and knowledge to my advantage, then I've got to be my world's biggest fool.
I guess that's getting off-topic, though. Although at this point I'm not sure if we have any specific subject we're talking about or not.
