Well, if you're prepared for the responsibility of ruling, then I don't see an issue with that. But it's a lot of work, being the boss. You'll have to make sure everyone is too afraid of you to move against you, and keep the people that you trust close.

[This is the worst advice ever, but it's how things worked out back home.........]

At the very least, you've proven that you can make difficult decisions, and that's worth something.
