It's because he's name-sworn, and his mana is wrapped in Rozemyne's. I guess when she's experiencing extreme mana variations, name-sworn can too? Him being one of the few archnobles in her retinue also means he's one of the few people of a similar mana capacity to hers, so he may be more sensitive to changes as well, while her other name-sworn can't tell the difference. That's my guess at least.

It also helps that Hartmut is the most ambitious of his retainers, and would unflinchingly predict that Rozemyne would be in the presence of a god.
