okay, i dunno how to prose this, so i'm just gonna dump it out. frontstory, miraz pulls caspian aside to talk privately over scotch in miraz's private study. okay this is weird, caspian is thinking. what the hell does my uncle want? but the scotch is always good (when caspian was a kid and wanted to feel badass, he'd make himself drinks with his uncle's scotch and replace what he took with apple juice, so the water line wouldn't drop, but he got found out anyway somehow) and besides, they're at a truce now, sort of.
basically miraz says if you sell out the pevensies, life will be awesome for you. THING IS, i'm not sure what miraz wants exactly and what he's offering and why. maybe he wants the hope diamond for himself, that's the only thing i can think of. especially since the patrisos don't bookkeep so good.
OH SO MAYBE. what if the diamond is used as leverage against the patrisos, and caspian and miraz actually COME TOGETHER and be all like, "if you don't leave the pevensies alone, patrisos, miraz will keep the diamond and he'll wipe you all out because you owe him money." or maybe he'll call the authorities. and aslan can come in, maybe with some dirt, and testify against the patrisos.
maybe miraz is like, "sell out the pevensies, and i'll get you out of this life of crime because isn't that what you've always wanted? i'll pull some strings, put some papers through a shredder." caspian never chose to be a criminal, he was forced into it in the name of survival and pride when miraz got him kicked out of harvard. he still wants to be a lawyer/businessman, he still wants to do good, but he's a criminal and he's long given up on that dream. but now it's a possibility again. miraz can see him considering it and he smiles satisfied, because it runs in the family.
I DUNNO, i want to grab someone by the balls and make it hurt, but i dunno how to do it to caspian, i dunno how to do it to the patrisos.
