I supposes you mean the first "e" is unstressed.
se-re-nus. I made the analogy with "dominus" where the stress is on "o".
dó-mi-nus
sé-re-nus
OK, "dominus" has an short /i/ and "serenus" has the second /e/ a long
one.

P.S. I can change my way to express myself too. A cute advice here from
your side should have been " take a look where the stress here is, my
boy", not a such one. You just have to tell me. I can quite my
politeness immediately.
