Not OP, but... what's wrong with both? I think OP's aiming more for a ruling together scenario, which is really the best of both worlds. You're a villain, and you don't have to do it by yourself! I'm scatterbrained as fuck and I don't really like being alone, so I'd much rather rule the world as a team. If you genuinely liked each other, you'd get a better flow of ideas going, too- I am just one person, I am going to be shortsighted at times, and having somebody I could trust to cover my blind spots when it comes to planning could make it much easier, and I'd do the same for them. Plus if my co-villain is in charge of half the things, that's half the things I get to worry about a little less. If we're a couple, we'd probably be sharing all the money and power anyway, so that's a good deal.

And if both parties set it up right, I don't think you'd have to worry as much about backstabbing? If my subjects know and like me (and hey, I'd be plying them with ill-gotten loot and social progress, they'd like me) but don't really know about my co-villain (and vice-versa), there would be a strong incentive for neither of us to backstab as long as either kingdom could cause a lot of trouble for the other. I could get together a team of secret police and condition them to be loyal only to me (and pay them well enough so that bribery from my partner's end would be less effective), and then if I die under any suspicious circumstance then they'd investigate my partner. If my partner was more likely to be guilty than not, they'd stir up a rebellion. My partner would know I had precautions, but not the details, and I'd encourage them to take precautions too and not tell me the details, and nobody would be murdered.

Plus it just seems to be more fun with two. There's somebody around to appreciate your villainy! If I was going to be a villain, I'd like to have fun with it :D
