But she is a character and you have to view her from what the writers want you to see about her. The writers make it a point to show the length Adalind will go for beauty, shown by her  using the leeches. A bit of an extreme to make a point. But then everything in the show is exaggerated to make a point. Blowning up a car engine to make the point of Juliettes power, that's extreme. Then you have Viktor when around Adalind making the point he wants to anser the door. What did he say he never gets to answer the door. It is the same adolescence behavior that Sean and Eric show when around Adalind.Is it a realistic response or observation? No. But then it was not ment to be realistic it was ment to make a point. The point, that  Hexenbiest are dangerous to men. The point the hexenbiest are suductreses. Even someone as sadistic as Viktor can be suduced. What did Elizabeth say when she transformed into Adalind. I feel so slutty. The other thing about the closet. The dresses are all black. Adalind does not wear all black. But it does represent Viktors taste. Which is what you would expect Viktor would find sexy. You are making an awful lot of assumptions here that are unsubstantiated. You see Vicktor insisting on answering the door as being Adalind influenced as opposed to, I don't know, influenced by the irony of the fact that he is an incredibly powerful royal who has startleingly little control over his home life. You assume that he gave her all black clothes because he would like seeing her in them, rather than the more likly reason of "they're all black because he is trying to keep adalind on her leash and she has a preference for clothes of that colour". you assume that Hexenbiests are primarily seductresses, as opposed to all the evidence that Hexenbiests are primarily powerful magic users who occasionally use sex as a means of either magic implimentation or manipulation. The biggest assumption you make however is that Vicktor is likely or even capable of harboring romantic feelings towards Adalind.

For a start, Vicktor is the definition of all-work-no-play. Aside from eatiing/drinking expensive food/drink, we have not actually seen him do anything for his own amusment. whenever we do see him, he is plotting or working or doing something to further his aims. Also relevent is the fact that Vicktor is too smart by half to get into a relationship with Adalind; she is too untrustworthy and he knows what hexenbiest can do.Vicktor also has yet to show interest in anyone of either sex (and no, your invented reasoning with regards to adalind does not count). We have never seen him flirt, dance with someone or get into bed with anyone. The closest he comes is acting courteously with Adalind before she gave birth, and that is probably due to what Victor considers "Manners" with regards to ladies (He would only bother with these manners to keep up appearences with adalind to keep her in arms reach before she gave birth). Given the antisocial qualities we have observed (sadism, ruthlessness) it is entirely possible that Victor has significant sociopathic tendencies, which would preclude any sexual behavior from him. Finally, using your own logic, it makes no sense from a character perspective for Vicktor to ever be romantically interested in Adalind. He is the ultimate big-bad, a godfather type character who is always in control and is an object of great fear and respect. Romance reduces the impact of these character types because a critical component of this character type is how difficult it is to relate to them (the less we empathise with a charater, the more we can hate and fear them, which is what the ultimate aim is with these character types). Romance would humanize Vicktor, which would reduce the  aura of power that is so critical to his character. Can you imaging the outrage there would be from most fans if Vicktor ever did sleep with adalind? we would literally be calling him an idiot to our telvisions before racing to the forums to type about how much of an idiot he was. it would ruin the character completley.

Look, bottom line is Vicktor is never going to show interest in adalind, as it makes no sense for him to do so no matter which angle you look at it from. Please stop trying to prove your claim by digging up the same evidence over and over (you have made the closet point 2-3 times now). Vicktor is never going to show genuine ("genuine" is the important word here) interest in her, and no one but you seems to want that.
