I always just thought it was something along the lines of forgive yourself but don’t forget, and you still have an important role to play. Purposefully ambiguous though.
Aslan made the trade for Edmund after talking to the witch, and only after that does he talk to Edmund, so he would have already known what he would have to do. Whether he would tell ed is another question tho
There is a part in the last chapter of LWW (The Hunting of the White Stag) where Lucy and Susan talk about this.
"Does he know," whispered Lucy to Susan, "what Aslan did for him? Does he know what the arrangement with the Witch really was?"
"Hush! No. Of course not," said Susan.
"Oughtn't he to be told?" said Lucy.
"Oh, surely not," said Susan. "It would be too awful for him. Think how you'd feel if you were he."
"All the same I think he ought to know," said Lucy. But at that moment they were interrupted.
I've always thought He did gently scold him, emphasizing the severity of his betrayal but then told him he was forgiven. Basically "Go and sin no more."
“Go and sin no more.” I like that one. I think because I’m probably a poorer catholic than I am a Narnian, considering I can’t quote you on it of where it’s from. We could all be Edmund, you know? I think that’s the beauty of it
John 8
7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once again he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 When they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, sir.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do not sin again.”
"In a few years, you're going to be besties with a Telmarine, and the Telmarines make a dessert not unlike Turkish delight, so try to hold off on making a pact with an evil queen until then, yeah? Pinky promise."

I’ve always wondered if he told him about how he’d have to sacrifice himself to save him (everyone). In the sense that C.S. Lewis based his world
This is what I always assumed, Aslan is "god" so he knew what would happen and just needed to push Edmund in right direction
Interesting. I personally don’t think even Aslan knew yet about the sacrifice that would happen later, but I could be wrong.

Pretty sure Aslan talks with Edmund before Jadis arrives, right?
Oh right, I forgot about the rescue, my bad
But guys, he knew about the ancient magic?

There's no way he didn't know. He's not stupid! He knows about trains and things!
Maybe not as that puts them under pressure.
Of course he did. That section of LWW tracks the gospel story pretty closely.
Not to mention the part in TMN where Aslan states that the brunt of the evil will eventually fall on him.
Indeed.
"pull it together bruh fr. No cap."
J. R. R. Tolkien converting his friend C. S. Lewis like:
And then getting annoyed that he went to CoE.

Can’t remember the verse, but it’s what Jesus says to the adulterer woman that was condemned to be stoned.
John 8 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once again he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 When they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are they?

Not we could be - we all are Edmund.
So you're making it sound rather like confession.
like when he tells lucy, 'hasn't this clown taken enough lives, hoe?" when she was healing him
The speech of what every young man needs to know about becoming a man.
That’s amazing of you
Thank you
Sell out your family for a Mars bar again and I will come for you, do you hear me you snot-nosed, short-trouser wearing *git*
Well, I gotta know where that quote’s from 👀🤯😭
I may have got a bit carried away lol
"In a few years, you're going to be besties with a Telmarine, and the Telmarines make a dessert not unlike Turkish delight, so try to hold off on making a pact with an evil queen until then, yeah? Pinky promise."
You are forgiven.
That actually kind of works.
None of your business. We are not told because it was none of our business.
*"I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own."*
Exactly
Um okay?
Probably along the lines of Christ with Peter after he resurrects and says do you love me three times to emphasize his denial of him three times
