Nice, very nice. I love Edmund cannot forget that Aslan needed him in order to triumph. Edmund, being the Just, probably would have had to make a lot of pragmatic decisions that his siblings might rather not know about - or he wouldn't tell them in order to keep to the ideal of Narnia.
When the poets seek to compare their four monarchs to the seasons of the year, they mysteriously stop after Summer, and shuffle their feet, and find some other metaphor - well, it's not like they'll be turned to stone if they upset the monarchs, is it? (I can't believe that I didn't pick up on the four seasons/four siblings dynamic until I read this. I fail at symbolism.)
