I've read those pages. Yes, Kenny asks if Alma and Historia are related to Rod, but it's a rhetorical question. The First Interior Squad already knows, that's why they're there. Rod is aware that there's no way out of it, which is why he says they're not related. It's not a lie to protect them. It's to uphold what will become the public truth, that he never had a mistress or a bastard daughter.

As far as the Founding Titan goes, remember, Frieda made "public" appearances to those in the know. That's how Kenny saw Uri had passed his power down. Yes, Rod hid what really happened that night to most people, but I'm pretty sure Kenny (and by extension the assembly) would have known that the Founding Titan was lost because Frieda would have disappeared. Frieda's absence was likely apparent to everyone in the inner circle of the government and the Church of the Walls.

That's why in present day, Kenny and the rest of the nobles are all aware of the missing Founding Titan.
