I find that a bit unlikely. No matter how she might look, the moment she got engaged, something must have clicked in the adult's minds. But even if they really forgot subconsciously the first time around, her now getting into a second engagement should really have been a wake-up call for what they failed to do the first time around, especially with how at least Elvira was already in a "now or never" mode, conscious of the things she wouldn't be able to do or say once Spring arrives and Rozemyne leaves the duchy.

When she returns for Ehrenfest's Dedication Ritual and the final preparations for her move, it is most likely the last time either of her (noble) mothers will have the chance to have a proper talk, before she gets married in a couple of years. Sure, they might technically see and briefly talk to her at the interduchy tournament, but that won't afford the privacy to have that kind of conversation.
