It could just be that Cora didn't kill anyone (in the family) and just moved to Leopold's kingdom, which is neighboring. Cora knew that she would have to kill her way to the throne, but she didn't seem like she would go through with that plan and I assume set up the "Regina" plan. Which still involved killing Eva. She was obviously willing to kill, as shown by her large reserves of hearts under her mansion. So why didn't she kill the four people ahead of her for the throne? After all, she wouldn't be the first monarch to spill some blood.

I think Rumple ruined her chances to become queen as revenge for dumping him, which is why she focused on having a child do her revenge for her. Maybe Xavier's kingdom was small, and Cora would rather her daughter be Queen of a much larger kingdom. Makes about as much sense as anything.
