Frankly, I'd find that a lot more interesting than most nobility-focused fantasy (which tends to overlook how much work being a noble was, too).
Amen to that! If the noble sons are running around chasing treasure and bad guys all the time, then who governs their lands? Who collects and distributes taxes? Who protects against highwaymen? Who mediates disputes? Who maintains the roads?
