Most group of friends have trios, like two boys and one girl. So what if Wukong and Macaque had another friend.
Another that just wanted to break the chains from her responsibilities and just have fun.
Another that knew what about the fight between...

Pressing her back against the stone walls of a nearby house, Jinhua kept a hand on her sword at all times as she followed the young prince through the shouting streets of Silk Ridge.
"See anything?" Wukong whispered quietly over to Macaque who was hiding in the shadows of a nearby spider guard.
Slinking out of the shadow, Macaque silently made his way over to the group with his ears alert of his surroundings.
As he crouched down he held up a finger to quiet everyone. Which meant for Jinhua to place a hand over Wukong's mouth quickly before he started charging into another fight.
As they went silent in the alleyway. A quartet of guards started walking by without noticing the group crouched.
"Youd think you'd be at the coliseum watching the battle for the throne at this hour but no. We were sent to find some measly group of travelers because big junior of the sisters came by to visit...!"
"Stop complaining already! I've had enough of you tapping my ears off!"
"Well maybe you should take my shift tonight and I'll go walk back to the grand event and enjoy the rest of my night!"
"You-! Do you have absolutely any idea how important those travelers are to our future queen!? One of them has special blood and powers that could help grant our future queens wishes however she pleases!"
"And not watching the birth of our new queen isn't AS IMPORTANT!?"
"IM NOT SAYING ITS NOT IMPORTANT!"
"IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE IT!"
"WELL IM NOT-!" The guard was cut off by a strike to the neck from behind. The other shouting guard went silent as he watched his friend's head roll over to his feet with a his wide eyes staring back.
"A-! AGHHHHH-!" He was then silenced by a clean cut from his throat as he watched the world turn upside down. And with that, the two arguing guards were gone with the night.
Holding the second guards head by the hair was Jinhua. Her face scrunched in utter disgust as she got a few specks of purple spider blood on her blue tinted robes, "Such an ugly little thing..." She hummed as she got a closer look at the spider's face.
It's six eyes glossed over with no light, the large pinchers on each side of its mouth. The dull purplish tint in its skin made it look almost like dead already.
Macaque chuckled as he twirled his staff around and rested it over his shoulder as he glanced over at the head she held, "Bug demons are never my favorite to fight. They always have a quantity of numbers and seem to have no mind of their own when being ordered by their queen."
"Truly an annoying and frightening enemy to face." Jinhua hummed at the thought.
The prince stared on at the fallen soldiers with a passive face as he cleared his throat to gather the groups attention, "As you heard, my sisters are preparing for the ritual for the throne.... And I hoped you all had gotten sooner before then..."
