Unless maybe the royals just missed some provision of it that said null and void if any of the parties tried to kill any of the other parties.
Face, considering she lost Diana anyway only a few days later and a few weeks later was tortured in a dungeon for a couple of days, then she nearly got killed by Juliette and discovered a short while after that she was pregnant by her worst enemy, I’d say Adalind certainly did suffer the consequences. Yes she might not have suffered right away for breaking the contract however her life fell to pieces not long after fleeing Europe for Portland.
People have a tendency to just see Adalind ending up with Nick and both her children to get her happy ending and judge the consequences based on it.
Because of that, they tend to overlook how much Adalind has truly suffered. There were serious consequences to her actions that caused her a lot of pain but I see that it doesn't matter time and time again because of how the show ended. She probably suffered just as much as any other character.
It really wasn't until season 5 that her life seemed to take a turn for the better and I say that knowing she was still without Diana and scared of sleeping alone. Then she was threatened by BC.
In season 6, Adalind had to worry about what was going on with Diana and the symbols. That lead to Z and Diana potentially becoming his child-bride while also being warned he was after Kelly. She probably wasn't even thinking about the end of the world at that point.
