I always figured that Cora could have taken a whole army's worth of hearts and then build herself a kingdom next to the Red King's kingdom.

Or, she could have just teleported into the King of Hearts's palace, ripped out his heart, make him present her to the citizens as the new queen. Then she crushes the heart later. There is a box that says K-H in her vault (maybe the king's heart or Henry Sr.).
