(: ( iam watching Sherlok Holmz this two days) Main thing keeping anyone, asside from the wessen council's bounty, from taking Nick out via bomb, bullet, or poison is that everyone still wants him as an asset.  Grimms are a rare commodity.  If anyone still hopes he can be turned or coerced into becoming an asset, he remains valuable alive and breathing.

But the more he chooses sides, the more he narrows his chances of avoiding additional assassination attempts. When he was still assumed to be unaligned, everyone thought they had a chance of turning him or at least thought they could ignore him, as the Council originally did.

Seems the Royals and all the Wessen organizations operate more like Organized crime families than anything else. So long as Nick remains valuable to one or more of them, there will be some level of protection afforded to him. The stronger and more diverse his network is, the more safe he'll be.
