She did give him this order: “Listen to me, Ferdinand... You have devoted so much of your life to that promise you made. Going forward, I ask that you focus on your own dreams. No matter what Sylvester, Lady Hannelore, or anyone else says, do not surrender. Do everything in your power to secure the future you desire.”

Did you by chance notice how in this very part, Ferdinand admonished Rozemyne for blurting out things in the heat of the moment, without thinking through the consequences? The line you quotes is very much another such line. It'd be beyond hypocritical for Ferdinand to admonish Rozemyne for saying such things, only to then use such a very thing she says as justification.

There is also the little talk they had in Ahrensbach's replenishment hall, were both rightfully accused each other of not inforing the other about what they were planning. Again, highly hypocritical of Ferdinand to demand that Rozemyne inform him of everything she intends to do, and then work behind her back, especially in a case that so directly involves her.
