Through process of elimination they might be able to arrive at that conclusion, I wasn't aware it was something they were willing to directly confirm, though. Maybe the situation is a bit different when dealing with direct relatives to retainers though as in this case. The only necessary part Lieseleta's father needs to know is that he needs to find a replacement head of house - the specifics of Rozemyne's position isn't relevant to that.

That is certainly true, but being given an unreasonable order like that without hearing the reason for it would have been bound to cause friction, especially when the recipient of the order is already stressed out and frustrated over another archnoble family making a series of unreasonable demands to him. People cann make strange decisions, when put under a lot of pressure and/or stress, so if he can be trusted to keep his mouth shut, letting him in on the truth seems like a good move.

Then again, the whole thing is supposed to become official in less than a year anyway, so the risk of accidental leaks is probably not that high. And with Elvira being either among, or being the single most powerful woman in Ehrenfest, he'd be a fool to make her his enemy by pulling some stunt with the information intentionally.
