One minute

When the citizens of the Serbek Kingdom heard what Ren said they were dumbfounded. It wasn't rare for a king to treat his subjects as objects, but they would never say it out loud in front of them unless that king wanted a riot. 

Yet despite Ren being so verbal about it not a single person had raised any objection. The place was deadly quiet, even the cowering crying children have stopped. 

"Like I said no need to worry, as long as you're under me then you won't be dying anytime soon. I will train all of you people to become powerful warriors and mages. Depending on your talents no matter if you're a commoner or not you can rise in the ranks. Who knows maybe one day, one of you people standing here today might become my next general."
