Nick forgave Eve. He fargave both women and Nick isn;t perfect either, he did help kidnap a baby and framed and killed Kenneth in cold bloody revenge.

I hated Adalind but by third season I liked her. I thought Nick's relationship with Juliette was a waste of time from season 1. Nothing would change my mind because things got worse between them, not better. I had no reason to invest in that dead end relationship, I was surprised the writers broke them up eventually since they seemed intent to keep them going despite beating them into the ground every season and each time worse than before. The internal problems of S4 only proved me write that Juliette should have walked away after realising Nick lied in S1 or at the latest at the end of S2 after the mess with the amnesia. Adalind at least became a better person and no, it had nothing to do with Nick. It was all for her children. I am drawn to positive growth in characters. It's fascinating when character change for the better.

Adalind didn't tell the royals Kelly had Diana or even where to find Kelly because she didn't know. Juliette chose to work with the royals  and chose to betray Nick and Kelly and set a trap that let Kelly's death. Laying the blame squarely on Adalind is false and doesn't make it true, no matter how many times it's said. Juliette beat up Adalind and handed Diana to the royals as payback to Adalind so it's not like she was always helpless against Adalind.
