I play a good character, too. To justify killiing people for the Dark Brotherhood, I just pretended like I was undercover, saving the people who might otherwise be assassinated. I made a "special" enchanted weapon that I used for all of my assassinations. This weaon, in my imagination, would transport the target to a safe alternative realm where they could stay for a while, away from the people who wished to do them harm. At the same time, the weapon's enchantment would create a duplicate body to pose as the dead body. The person is safe, the Dark Brotherhood thinks the contract has been carried out, and everyone is happy. Presumably, at some point after the questline is over, the law officials would come in and kill everyone in the Sanctuary-- then gather up all the records of people who performed the Dark Sacrament, and arrest them. At that time, it would be safe for the people I had transported to a safe realm to come back to Skyrim.
