"Because I have spent my whole life as a soldier. I have used these hands of mine to swing a sword. I am not educated enough. I don't have any experience in this field. I am not suited to become a noble. It would be better if you appoint someone else to this position." In the end, Leon couldn't bear to disappoint the Emperor. It was not as if he was desperate. Leon was happy with his current position and with his current salary.
'He is being honest. If he was greedy then he would have accepted this position without a question.' Aditya wanted Honest people like Leon to work under him. What's the use of having talented men when you can't trust them?
"Leon, you can learn. The most important thing is taking the first step." Since the Emperor's tone had left no room for discussion, Leon could only agree. It would be deemed rude and disrespectful if he still rejected Aditya's offer.
"Alright." Leon still looked reluctant. Aditya was satisfied with Leon's reaction.
