My seer just told me of this omen he saw in the moon. Should I be worried or should I get rid of the seer? "When the Moon fully slips into Earth's shadow, a king shall die."

Stop worrying with this primitive nonsense. Listen to the science. Everyone knows that when the moon turns dark, it's just the giant sea beast rising out of the ocean and breathing his great smokey breath over the moon goddess.
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.
How would you get rid of the seer? Might be fun, which would affect my response.
- Wait for lunar eclipse to start
- Name the seer king
- Wait for totality
- Do a little regicide
You have been hired as my new executioner because of your ingenuity.
Sounds like some kind of a conspiracy to overthrow you. Have you tried torturing him? That usually works.
Pffft, get rid of the Seer. "A king" isn't specific enough when there are ten thousand kings scattered across lands both known and unknown
You don't need to suffer this toxic behaviour, just let your HR & executions department handle it, you pay them for this.
