To me, Emerald simply moved Mercury out of the way so she could speak for Cinder, since Emerald is apparently the designated speaker and Mercury wasn't thinking about it when he standed next to Cinder.

I admit, sometimes I also think that Emerald might have a crush on Cinder, but we still can't be certain.

And again, some people are simply blindly loyal to someone. Emerald doesn't care about the world, she cares about Cinder, so she will do everything in her power to please her. In my opinion, loyalty is a good trait to have, regardless of whether you are hero or a villain, so I'm interested to see more about Emerald in the future.
