But why would he send historia away? I think that he had an idea that Grisha might've tried to pass it on or use it. Since eren can use the power he likely lied to historia, as we have little indication of what he says to be true. Well that or somebody else told him a different story and Rod just believes it because. Like maybe he just had the battle of trost as a confirm and then went from there.
