About that. At this moment, Eva is actually being explicitly precise.

Because this scene is dated during Battler's absence, and as Battler is not in the Ushiromiya family register, George is literally "the only grandson" of Kinzo -- Jessica, Maria and Ange are granddaughters. A few paragraphs later, Eva corrects herself anyway: "George is the eldest grandson carrying Father's blood."
