Failure Is Not An Option

"Tell me, why go through all the hassles just to save me?" 

Hearing the question Alex threw at her, Emilia who was about to help him wear his shirt stopped midair but did not say anything. 

"I'm talking to you," Alex said to her in a demanding tone. "There must be something you need so tell me. Even if I can't repay you in my current state, I won't forget to do that in the future," he added.

"I need you to help my father win a title. If you can do that for me, I will forever be in your command," Emilia replied to him. Since there was no need to hide anything or try to deny the truth, it was better she came out to the open and told him what he needed to know. 

"I see." 

Emilia tried to look at his face but meeting his gaze which was staring back at her, she lowered her head.
