I don't think Gwen would be too understanding about the Merlin magic reveal. Not only did she lose her father because of magic, but Merlin knew Lancelot was a shade and that Morgana was behind the whole "cheating" mess. He stood by while Gwen was put on trial for adultery and banished from Camelot without doing anything to clear her name. Everybody, Arthur particulary, will take Merlin's silence during the whole awful affair as fear of exposure, an act of cowardice. That's going to hard to overcome, considering Gwen could have been sentenced to death.
