Robert slayed one more man and turned his eye to the messenger.
The king has ordered to not listen to you on orders of your sister.
Robert raged in anger and turned and ran in the direction of the north.
Ned stark watched as his friend approached.
The king has taken to ignoring favors to friends, he has betrayed us all.
Ned stood quiet.
Will you ride with me Ned, when the time is right to kingslanding?
Ned stood quiet.
Aerys has always been fond of me.
But I am your real friend.
His taxes will cripple us.
The rich and powerful have never been bent by taxes.
But the village people did crumble, if you don't believe me now, when the time is right you will see that he wasn't fond of us at all.

Ned preyed to his wife as years passed by and received many notices of payments until one chest went empty. His son Rob and Sansa and Arya slept in their beds, and he nodded as he got on his horse to Robert's hide out.
When he got there he got off.
Aerys might be as mad as you say.
Why did the North crumble from taxes he mutured chewing on bread and sipping milk by a fire.
I'll help in the rebellion.
Robert nodded.
Good, because I was going to go and get you anyways.
