I had thought that, which is why I assumed that contracts were extensions of the DL's will. Thus it would be extremely hard to break them. But at any rate, the end result of the story is, the Maou would ultimately forgive Adelaide and break the contract herself, because Adelaide and Richter represent the very spirit of love and devotion by remaining loyal and deeply in love for seventy years, despite never having each other. So the DL would release her as a reward for keeping faithful, even though she had every reason not to.
