Yes.

In LN Volume 19 Chapter 3, "──Please tell me your name." "────" "My name is Emilia. I don't have a surname. I am a half-elf with many differences from you, but there must be similarities too. ──I want to help you." In the beginning, it started with the name being asked. Once lonely enough to believe that no one can rely on, Emilia, who was dazzled by too many things, was asked so gently. I didn't know until now. ──At that time, she was very happy. Feeling that the strange boy in front of me agrees with herself’s existence, she felt happy about it. ──It must have been from that moment that Naizuki Subaru was "special" to Emilia. Therefore, just like Subaru did it for herself, she also wanted to do it for others. And in the context, Emilia was talking about special like why she was speical to Subaru becasue he loved her.

So, this was ocnfirmed in the novel that Emilia fell in love to Subaru from the start.

But troubles made her not notice that feeling.

But in Arc 5, Emilia noticed and understood that she had fallen in love with Subaru even from the start.

In other words, they fell in love to each other from the start.

In WN Arc 5 Chapter 56. Emilia: “My name is Emilia, just Emilia. Although with circumstances different from yours, surely sharing similarities with you, a half-elf.” 184: “Humph…” Emilia: “If we can see the same things, feel the same things, share the same hopes… Certainly, talking won’t be without meaning.” Once upon a time, she’d introduced herself like this before. When her heart had been ridden with unease, when she’d been convinced that she had no one to rely on, when she felt as if endless floods were swallowing her. Back then, she’d been taken in by the same words. —Even until today, she thought. Then, she’d been truly happy. The boy who she’d never met before recognizing her existence, had made her very happy. When rejection had been about to come, suddenly being tossed words like those, she’d hopelessly fallen. It used the word fallen.

Emilia and Subaru fell in love with each other from the start.

Just like Theresia x Whilhelm. How beautiful their love was!
