See I was confused to this. I thought he didn't forget so when he was all nice to Merlin, I was confused. But, assuming he didn't forget/ didn't forgive the grudge I think that he would've just passively hated Merlin, but still be loyal to Arthur. We saw that he still like Arthur and had hopes for him, so I assume that would stay the same. Mordred would be to Merlin as Merlin was to Mordred the whole season. They wouldn't like each other, distrustful, and maybe even actively plotting each others' end. Maybe not, because Mordred might know of what Merlin means to Arthur.

If Mordred did hold to his vow, he probably would turn on Merlin a lot faster. Or even instead, would try to grow and like Merlin now that they were in each others proximity more now. I never quite understood his character. Between this, him and Arthur/Merlin/ and that one girl who turned him (won't say her name, absolutely hate her), he confused me and felt like the writers had a really sloppy way of making him fufill his destiny.
