I agree that dragging the entire kingdom for her revenge was uncalled for, as her real enemy was the emperor and those who worked on the project. This said, it's not that she isn't aware of Dylan's feelings, she's choosing to ignore them. She knows he's obsessed with her as well, but for the sake of her revenge, she's ignoring them for now.
And she leaves him for a whole different reason than "running away from his feelings", it's much bigger and imo it made sense... but that'd be a spoiler you see, so I won't say it.

She's def a villain here- can't deny that. but at the same time I think its entirely understandable?
If I were her... yah, I'm dragging that kingdom down with me to hell. In any case, whatever they feel (or don't feel, after they're dead) couldn't really top than being an inanimate object that could move, couldn't speak, and couldn't die for 400 years. Surprised she even has any empathy left.
that being said, don't demolish entire kingdoms for your revenge, kiddos
I'm so conflicted. I get that she wants revenge on the Emperor, but why is she dragging the entire kingdom down? All the innocent lives, all the people who tried their hardest to make a living, suffering under the jurisdiction of a kid made tyrant. And that's another thing as well. Why would she, in the name of revenge, use a child, make them kneel before her, and ruin their childhood all while brainwashing them to drag the kingdom down to its demise? If she wanted to take revenge, a coup d'etat would've sufficed, no? I hate how she leaves Dylan. She kept saying she lived for 400 years and yet she was oblivious of his feelings towards her?
