5 Panels.
Panel 1:
Steffano's reflection in the mirror as he adjusts a feathery neck piece.
Steffano: Expansionism has only two main tenets: Assimilation or Genocide. And we know which one our father favours the most.
Panel 2:
Diana looks away, pensive.
Panel 3, 4:
Diana leaps forward, sitting on the edge of the bed on a single movement, amused. Steffano pets one of the crows with a soft smile.
Diana: Do you want me to pull the numbers? Because I'm an Augur. I have them. Let's see... In the past 150 years, there have been 32 assassination attempts within the Corvo House. Of those, a good two thirds came from WITHIN the House. By Árgon's jokes! You're not even braving new territory here!
Panel 5:
Diana laughs while Steffano picks up a white toga.
Diana (cont): And you're too late now to start your 30 ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS UNDER 30's list! Ahah!
Steffano (jolly): I'll take those odds.

So they are trying to murder each other something like 3-4 times in every generation (only counting the the ones coming from within the family). Lovely. One would think they would not even joke about something like this inside the house. I mean the old man probably knows the family history too. In fact with those stats and his age there had to be an attempt on him already.
And maybe committed a couple attempts himself. Maybe even a successful one?
Immortal Georg, who was the target of 120 assassination attempts during his 91 years long lifetime, is an outlier and should not have been counted
