It took me a second to see what you mean, but yes, if FHYA is
post-Vlad then Sethra's subsequent vanishing could not possibly be
attributed to a belief that she had failed to save Aliera, since
Aliera has now re-emerged. In other words, if FHYA then Paarfi well
knows that _Sethra_ well knows that Aliera has been restored.
