I think it is literal. It's played off as a pretty menial order, one where she's complaining about her garden outside, I believe. She also offers to burn him to ashes instead (that's definitely the real Julia).

A few added confirmations:


 * The entire town of Lioness was burned down in the incident; it definitely started near the castle and spread throughout the whole town.


 * Death toll was over 200 people.


 * Dashaw is definitely Shaw's grandchild (not great-grandchild like the real Hanne/Heidemarie).


 * Hanne didn't realize what was happening and didn't see the flames coming at her. Dashaw got in the way to protect her and ended up burning before her eyes.


 * The mage "Elluka Clockworker" was said to have suddenly appeared and entered Lioness Castle before shooting flames into the town from it.


 * Even in the present (EC 609, 12 years later) speaking the name "Elluka Clockworker" has the stigma of being a crime in Marlon.


 * Mayrana may have been besmirching Elluka's name out of jealousy (she says 御方 which I think is in reference to Elluka or Irina and "burned (it) with jealousy) and an "obsession".


 * She also seems to be under orders to not to kill Elluka (or unable to at the time, being a novice then... I'm not sure which one).

The phrase is 肝心のあなたは殺せずじまい for the above point. I am going to keep checking the jealousy one.


 * Checking Gatt's statements, he uses kanji and clearly says that "Mayrana Four the Shadow"....." seemed to be jealous of Elluka and it was because of (her?) obsession.


 * Julia cuts him off, clearly annoyed and slaps him for his (apparent) insolence.

Based on what I can tell, Julia's blaming Gatt for their loss of three members and demonstrates her wrath for (I assume) not joining in to help Mayrana and failing in his mission.


 * Before this conversation starts, she points out his failure to kill is really "I'm glad it's done and I didn't get killed". Julia's wondering who gave the order to "kill Elluka Clockworker", especially since Mayrana (either got selfish or) had lots of liberties.

From there it devolves into the "we lost Margarita, Caspar, and Mayrana thanks to (her/you/that?)."

I'll edit together the scans as well. We typically translate these last epilogue chapters anyway and I could use a transcription while looking at this.
