Victor was a competent ruler, no question about it. But just like his predecessors he let himself become paranoid about the Vanadis betraying him someday. Ironically it was his paranoia, and the methods he took to control the Vanadises that would be his downfall. That's what's known as a self fulfilling prophecy. Valentina was able to make her territory more wealthy, and was loved by her people. While it's true that Valentina was ambitious and wanted to be Queen, and she did do bad things. It was Victor's actions that drove her to villainy. He had collaborated with people who attacked her homeland of Osterode, just out of jealousy and greed. Her people suffered because of Victor's schemes to keep her in line. Everything she did wasn't just for herself, it was also to protect her people.

It's rather ironic that the founder of the kingdom (the black knight) made the first Vanadis his wives, and treated them with love, respect, and trust. Whereas his successors only treated them with suspicion, and mistrust despite being the defenders of the kingdom. Thankfully Tigre treats the Vanadis the way the first king treated his wives. It's as though he is a reincarnation of the first king. Let's hope his successors will learn from the mistakes of the past with respect to the Vanadis.
