I doubt that he'd have gone that far, especially if he formed the view that Merlin was something of a simpleton. He wouldn't have wanted him to continue to hold a position of trust as Arthur's manservant but I'd say that he wouldn't have executed him. Even before Valiant spoke up to say that he didn't want Merlin punished on his account, I'd say that the worst Merlin was facing was the loss of his job, a spell in the dungeons and possibly the stocks.
