Oh thank you! I so appreciate you telling me all the parts you enjoyed! Those were some of my favorite bits too. Haha, yes the poetic license, I think the bards were big on making the kings and queens talk more flowery than they actually did, which is why I skipped the bothersome "thou" language and tried to make them talk more like normal well-spoken adults, hehe.
I love the passage in the book where Edmund and Lucy meet Shasta/Cor, so once I started thinking about it from Edmund's perspective everything was so sweet and rather sad, the way he lays his hand on the boy's hair and almost blesses him, and tells him no, I know about traitors and you're not one. The contrast with Peter's battle call and Edmund's silent estimation, YES, so glad you picked up on it!

Can you tell I'm an Edmund fangirl? ;-)
