The White Witch is given the right to a kill because of the treachery of Edmund. Normally it would be the traitor who is killed, but Aslan gets her to agree to renounce her claim on Edmunds life and kill him instead. Theologically, this represents the substitutionary character of the atonement of Jesus in that He takes upon himself the punishment for sin that should have fallen on us.

What is the the major conflict in The Chronicles of Narnia?

Well, it's rather difficult to try and point out one major problem in the entire series unless you go book by book beginning with the evil Uncle Andrew and the Witch in "The Magician's Nephew" and finishing with the evil Calormenes in "The Final Battle."
