Why does nobody react to Ageha‘s not so hidden belief about his future in Shirohiyo

Why does nobody react to Ageha‘s not so hidden belief about his future in Shirohiyo - Reincarnated as a Neglected Noble?

I’m confused about something in Reincarnated as a Neglected Noble. And I don’t mind spoilers at all.

The main character, Ageha, keeps clearly implying things like he wants to help his brother to govern while he still can (mind that he is the heir, not his brother) or he can’t be on Aleksei‘s side after a few years, etc.

What throws me off is that nobody reacts. Not even the goddess, who can literally read minds and should instantly notice that he genuinely believes he’s going to be killed by his brother. You’d expect concern, questions or at least she calms him down etc…

But everyone just treats it like normal background noise.

Is this an intentional plot point, a worldbuilding quirk, or just something the author hasn’t addressed yet? It feels strange that such heavy statements get almost zero response from characters who should absolutely pick up on it.

I just assumed that the other characters assume he is most likely referring to the state of his own health and his own expectations for himself and his future based on it, since he has been sickly before with a serious life-threatening illness (the event which brought his prior life's consciousness to the front) being a major catalyst of events and mostly offscreen plot point from before the events of the series begin.

That and that he's overweight for a very young age. It was a unique trait to give a protagonist and their character design; especially a young child (even if reincarnated), which I thought could also be about how he had stereotypically nerdy and/or feminine home-based interests in his previous life. But in-universe as far as it's perceived by other characters in the show, I assumed that was also done to convey the state of his unhealthiness and others being naturally aware of it.

So from an unhealthy looking kid who almost died recently from disease in a time period in that world in which I assume child mortality is relatively high, nothing about it seems too out of nowhere or random to turn people's heads.

It's very fresh in my mind as coincidentally I just finished this series less than two weeks ago.

Thanks for the answer. This would explain regular characters but not the Goddess.

He literally thought in front of her about being killed by his brother if we don’t count other times, he thought about similar in front of the goddess. Goddess would know the difference on these two topics.

Do we ever see the goddess' internal thoughts and perspective, like her mind-reading and visualizing what he is envisioning when he speaks of that? I don't think so, but may have missed something.

It's possible that it could just be for plot convenience that is ignored because it doesn't serve the plot to have it addressed too directly by other characters yet, or it's also quite possible that she is aware of it but either believes, in the typical fashion of omniscience of some gods and goddesses, that it's something either necessary/fated to happen and not foretelling the future to him and intervening in that way is a preservation of the balance of the world type of thing.

*Or* that the event is completely different to how Ageha envisions it in terms of cause and effect, like it's something harmless or not what it seems, but she still thinks it's better for whatever reason not to voice that and let things play out. Or at least waiting until the time/event gets closer or he reaches some milestone hitherto unrevealed to us as the audience.

Ah okay, thanks.

She never show her thoughts on this topic, at least in the anime. I also thought about this but was kinda thinking she is aware but planning on something in the background.

That is why I was trying to reach people who read the source material and might know more about other people’s perspectives.
