Tow things. A) He did care about Sophie. What was stopping him from dueling with Dimitar? His parents don't care, except maybe Gisela, and he didn't find out about that letter until AFTER he nearly dies. But his father almost certainly did not care. Can you see his reaction. "Oh Keefe, why must you embarass me by nearly causing a war between us and the ogres?"

B) Even if he was trying to impress his parents, why would that matter? I can certainly understand why. He lived his entire life without their love and approval, I certainly would try to gain their attention using any means possible. And I can think of several examples of when he did things without a second glance at his parents approval.
