The question is an awkward one to answer in his position -- he may not have familiarised himself with El Sera yet, but he knows that no men-at-arms keep the peace in the city, no blacksmiths or bowyers sell their works, no person in its streets bears weapons or armour or heraldry. How can he say that he is a knight when there is no place for one, except in secret?
Yet the truth takes no artifice, no painstaking maintenance, no focus to recall. Better to simply omit the explicitly martial portions.
"Diplomacy. The management of people and resources, requisitions."
It is a decent summary of his other duties -- ones that he does not doubt to be acceptable in this land.
