Nobles and wealthy individuals simply do not stay dead unless they are killed in a special way and they don't have a good standing with the local churches. Assassinations are more of a warning or temporary distraction, the possession of diamonds is heavily regulated by the nobles and diamond mines are among the most fought over places in the world.B) -- The rule 0 wayEither the DM disallows Raise Dead (&Co) completely or makes it harder to pull of which means requiring hard to get spell components. But if the PCs use it to raise some NPC instead of sayving it for personal (group) use then it works and the plot progresses accordinglyC) -- The lazy way (not really simulationist)Ignore it and hope that the PCs don't ask questions.Not surprisingly I favor approach A.</blockquote>
