Teiresias the blind prophet is motivated by the pursuit of truth. He's respected for his skills as a seer. At the same time, he's motivated by the respect for divine and mortal authorities. He indeed realizes that criticism of or dire predictions for the royal family must be relayed cautiously. They both are indeed cause for a charge of treason from the ordinary citizen. They'd be viewed all the more so if uttered without restraint or reason by a prophet whose job is to help a city's rulers.
