Summary
Merlin has always felt somewhat responsible for the other serving staff in the castle, since he has been in service for longer than most of them by now. Therefore, he always sacrifices himself when less than desirable nobles come to visit the castle. He doesn't tell Arthur, though, seeing as the King already knows and turns a blind eye to everything that happens during his guests' stays in his castle's walls.

Summary
Arthur meets Merlin’s eyes again. “My whole life, I have been groomed to be the Prince, the future King of Camelot. I have never had a father, I have only had a Sovereign to serve and appease.”
“That’s not true.” Merlin argues, though even he doesn’t sound convinced. “Your father loves you, even if he doesn’t show it.”
Memories from his past, of lectures and reprimands, words of advice and words spoken as orders, rise up. There had been anger and disappointment, stern severity and empty, false pride. Never affection, never softness. Not even when he was a child.
OR
After disappointing his father, Arthur is shipped off to Mercia to compete in a tournament, with the orders to bring back honour for the Pendragon name "or else". While there, away from his father's watchful eye, he allows himself to question a few things that have always been there in the back of his mind. These questions may just be the ticket to setting him free.

Summary
The curse had been meant for Arthur. It had been meant to kill. But when Merlin had shoved his King out of way, jumped in front of it to save the life of the man he loved, what happened was so much worse. What had been designed to kill grew instead. It festered, and rotted, and wrapped slick, oily tendrils around everything deep inside him, leaving Merlin feeling dirty and unclean.
