Your highness, I am a seer myself and I have to tell you that moon-seers are notorious frauds among our distinguished profession. I can predict events with 5% more accuracy and 15% more positivity than this fool (for only 10% more silver per moon, three first moons offered if you sign now) by reading the flow of blood from sacrificed moon-seers.
This omen is really only a large cloud and your reign will be prosperous for ever and your beard will never fall and did I mention everybody loves your large hat?
Deal.
A man can always use a seer that loves his hat.
