The Dragonborn has the contract. Don't forget that there was the one Dark Brotherhood assassins Note from the member trying to kill you. This note states that "failure is not an option" and its signed by Astrid.

And by this, little Astrid has a big problem here, one that they failed and not furfilled the contract to kill the dragon born, and the second of having her name under that letter.

But that personal choice from me aside, if you do the brotherhood questline she is trying to "sacrifice" you anyways, because this would probably furfill the contract of the DB having to be killed + trying to securing her little "Family". basically everything she does is a huge fail.

Further more, I wonder about the standards of the Brotherhood, the price on an Emporers head is so low, that probably every ruler in whole tamriel would have a contract on his head. A simple dark ritual and some 20k coins is needed? WOW. Whats the live of a peasant worth then? 5 coins? does that even cover the travel costs and food?
