I Became the Villainess in an Anticlimactic Novel

I became a villainess in the novel I was reading. But this novel… Was a novel with an anticlimactic conclusion where the empire suddenly collapsed just before the ending!

The man who had hidden his identity as the Demon King and was the driving force behind the invasion. Grand Duke Arvis grabbed me with a gaze filled with intense emotions.

“If I lose you… I’d probably start by wiping out this continent that took you away from me.”

…Just why?
