Q is for Quintessential
Quintessential is a weird word. Contains Dark!Merlin.

Q
Arthur thinks he is quick. He is, when he isn't busy acting like a prat. He thinks I'm slow, both physically and mentally. It's kind of funny how wrong he is.
U
Arthur thinks he is unbeatable. He thinks that no one can beat him in any way, even though he should know at this point that that isn't true.
I
Arthur thinks he is intelligent. I don't really think he's an idiot, but I don't really think he's all that smart, either. If he was, he would have noticed so many obvious things that he's still clueless about.
N
Arthur thinks he is necessary. Please, Camelot would be far better off without him.
T
Arthur thinks he is tough. I agree with that. After all, with his upbringing, it would be ridiculous if he wasn't. But being tough isn't enough.
E
Arthur thinks he's exceptional. That makes me laugh.
S
Arthur thinks he's superior. I wish the prat would just get it through his head that he's no better than anyone else. It makes me feel sick.
S
Arthur thinks he's selfless. I'll admit, he's done some selfless things, but the majority of what he's done is either for his own gain or hurts others.
E
Arthur thinks he's enviable. That much is true. After all, who wouldn't want to be Prince of Camelot?
N
Arthur thinks he's noble. I don't see why that's a good thing. Nobles are all despicable.
T
Arthur thinks he's truthful. He's lucky he really isn't.
I
Arthur thinks he's idolized. Sometimes, he is. But most of the time, he's hated.
A
Arthur thinks he's affluent. He is, but it's not due to what he's done.
L
Arthur thinks he's loved.
I know some people love him, but I know I don't.
I hate him.
I hate him so much.
I hate him enough to kill him.
But he doesn't know.
L
I am a liar.

I don't know. I was trying to write something with a title that began with q, and the word quintessential exists, so… BTW, it means "representing the most perfect example of quality or class."
