If I remember it correctly, the meaning of Tia and empress conversation is since Tia have no mother and her father seems to have no interest in searching for a fiancee for her, the empress as mother of a nation (woman with the highest position in the empire) offer to help her find a partner. Since Tia is the most loved lombardi grandchildren, with a loaded father and incredible connection to pellet merchant, the empress show indication that she want to partner Tia with her son the first prince. Which literally make tia want to barf LOL. She was looking around at first to make sure there is no adult lombardi there that can interrupt her and wan to pressure Tia to accept that's why she ask her in public with so many eyes around (she think Tia is a pushover that she can't get away from her offer).
