Edmund’s Sharpest Weapon Wasn’t His Sword
Edmund’s lethal weapon was his tongue. In one little exchange, he thoroughly slays Miraz with words… Edmund first asserts his position, then humbly acknowledges Peter’s position (simultaneously making a pun about his own title “just king”), next points out Miraz’s underestimation with a witty ironic remark, and finishes with a scathing roast on Miraz’s bravery.
He effortlessly makes a fool out of Miraz, all with a twinkle in his eye and a playful grin. I can imagine Edmund meeting with many diplomats in Narnia and those who would try to take advantage of the land he would destroy with his level 100 sarcasm hidden behind that mischievous smile.
Yep, Edmund’s tongue was deadlier than his sword.
