Yeah, Merlin vs. Arthur. I mean, the guy manipulated him into getting the sword for him. From a tree. I think it is pretty likely that he knows how much Arthur hates him, so there is not really any way this could end well for Arthur. I suppose that if Arthur had the dagger he could convince Emma to duel with Merlin. She is one of the strongest Dark Ones around. But would there be anything to stop Merlin from simply taking the dagger from him? Besides, even if Emma, arguably the most powerful Dark One, has the magical strength to contend with Merlin, he has thousands of years of experience on her.
