"Nobility" is ultimately just an appointed position. Nobility is usually formed early on in a Empire's creation, since the 3rd Empire is pretty old, it'd be unlikely for the DB to rise to nobility. Usually, yes. But it's not unheard of for individuals who've shown exemplary service to the nation/empire/what-have-you to be granted a title and lands. And I'd say stopping a wave of dragon-y destruction definitely qualifies as "exemplary service".

Don't get me wrong; I highly doubt Beth will go with the Dragonborn becoming emperor, but it's for entirley different reasons described above.
