Episode 20 of Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3 formally introduces Georgine, Sylvester's sister, who has allied with the Florencia Faction on succession. Rosemyne, positioned as a threat to that succession, sits in Georgine's crosshairs because of her adopted association with Sylvester. Georgine's vendetta against Sylvester stems from the succession she felt was rightfully hers. The episode also links one of Georgine's contacts to Schicicoza, the soldier who previously attacked Rosemyne.
The episode's community score sits at 4.4. Georgine's defining fashion sense is a veil, a detail that signals how she handles her true intentions. She spends the episode attending tea parties with the Florencia Faction, visiting her deposed mother, and courting a potentially exploitable endearment with Wilfried. The episode interweaves information about one of Georgine's contacts and their relationship with Schicicoza, the soldier who previously attacked Rosemyne, a tip-off to Georgine about how interconnected Rosemyne is with the shifts that have occurred. The episode does not settle Georgine as the new main villain; the series sometimes resolves machinations off-screen. It appears to shuffle her off until a later season.
