Achieves satisfaction succeeding king, making fortune (6)
I believe the answer is:
kismet
'fortune' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kismet that I've seen before include "Will of Allah" , "lot in life" , "Destiny; 50s musical" , "fortune" , "Broadway musical" .)
