receiving more information

Emily, Anthony, and Lucca looked at each other with a bewildered expression, unable to believe what had just happened—the teacher had left without saying a word.

"Is she just leaving like that?" Lucca asked, more thinking aloud than posing a question.

"If you think that's strange, you should have seen what she did to me!" Emily spoke, clearly with a face as if she were reliving the moment. The two stared at her, waiting for her to share. After realizing their expectation, she asked, "Are you waiting for me to tell you, right?"

Both nodded in agreement.

"Well, she simply appeared and ordered the assassin from your group, I don't know his name, to go to the fortress. Right after saying that, she took Arthur by the shoulder and then took me and came here. Just like that!" Emily revealed.

"Looks like we have no choice but to trust the teacher and go to the fortress to see how this situation unfolds. Phew," sighed Lucca, as he really wanted to know who ordered Anthony's murder, but unfortunately, the teacher took that information from him.

Your revised sentence is clear and effectively conveys the intended meaning:

"Yeah! But thank you for saving us and helping us. In the best-case scenario, I bet at least one of us wouldn't be here if you and your group hadn't saved us," said Anthony, hugging Emily tightly and looking at her, implying that, under the best circumstances, one of them would not have survived if Lucca hadn't shown up to save them.

Your sentence is almost perfect, but there's a small grammatical correction needed. Here's the corrected version:

"Don't be modest. I can't leave this debt unpaid to keep my conscience clear. Even if it's a favor for the future!" Anthony insisted, for Lucca to choose anything he wanted in exchange for saving his life and Emily's.

"Any favor?" Lucca asked, looking at him.

He nodded, and seeing that, Lucca commented again, "Any favor sounds interesting! I want the favor," smiling at him, but in his thoughts, he was like, 'At least pay me for the job of saving your life!'

"May it be a favor! Of course, I'll ask the same question to the rest of your group! Any idea what they might ask for in return?" Anthony inquired, changing the subject as they headed back to the fortress. With a long journey ahead, a good conversation seemed like the perfect way to pass the time.

"Let me think. Ivy probably won't ask for much; she just enjoys fighting or maybe a piece of equipment. Nolan, on the other hand, will likely request something costly, ele nao queria ter vindo ate aqui para vos salvar. As for Ana, she'll definitely ask for something; what that is, I have no idea, she's peculiar but honest," Lucca pointed out. After a brief pause, he continued, "And Alice won't ask for anything; she has a strong sense of justice."

"Ah, Alice Anderson, I know her! Well, it's impossible not to know her! Ahah!" Emily laughed.

"But changing the subject, do you suspect anyone who wanted you dead?" asked Lucca, weary of the previous topic and more intrigued by who might have ordered the hit.

"Ugh! I can't stop thinking about it. I've been pondering it the whole time, trying to bring up other topics to distract myself, but I genuinely don't know," Anthony replied, appearing pensive and melancholic.

Seeing this, Emily began to comfort him by gently caressing his arm.

"But how does your father allow this to happen?" Lucca questioned. Upon hearing this, Anthony almost started to cry. Realizing the impact of his words, Lucca quickly apologized, saying, "Hey, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched on that subject."

"It's okay. My father isn't doing that well; he got injured in the last war. He was fine for the first five years after the injury, but then his health deteriorated drastically, and he's been bedridden ever since," Anthony revealed, shedding a tear as he spoke.

Amidst this, Emily took Anthony's arm and rested her head on it.

"What kind of injury did he have? I apologize, but I'm curious," Lucca apologized for the question, recognizing that it was causing Anthony emotional distress.

"He had almost half of his body crushed by an orc's! He had to amputate his right arm, and the rest of his body on the right side was severely damaged and nonfunctional," Anthony explained his father's condition.

"So, the person orchestrating this attack is taking advantage of his condition to kill you and, most likely, conquer your duchy!" Lucca spoke, analyzing the information he had gathered so far about the situation.

"That's what I was thinking—some duke who has a grudge against us, or someone within the duchy aiming to become a duke!" Anthony agreed with Lucca's analysis, adding the possibility of internal involvement.

"Yeah, I agree with you! But I have a question I want to know: why did you switch sides?" Lucca asked, looking at Emily, who was still in Anthony's embrace.

Anthony, upon hearing the question, started to gaze at her, genuinely curious about the answer.

She blushed at Lucca's question, and her embarrassment intensified when she noticed Anthony looking at her. In a panic, she replied, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked, looking at Anthony's face, who was staring at her.

"What's wrong? I want to know too!" declared Anthony, revealing the truth.

"I just didn't think it was right to kill an innocent person!" she declared, her cheeks turning red.
