An elusive joker somehow ignored by the authorities who for some reason doesn't want a legal magical licence makes it big, and thats how the captain of the royal guard finds out about him.
He thinks, just maybe, the magical boy will be of help in the king's current investigation- or maybe thats not the only reason the guard is interested in him.
Maybe kidnapping the joker wasn't the best move, though, nor was shutting down his business or attempting to force him into hard labour-? Alas, at least he tried, though ultimately the guard most likely made a mistake.
Maybe the joker can't help...
Or maybe he's capable of blackmailing the king?!?!?
Follow the joker, the guard, the king and his brother, hope both you and them don't die along the way!!
