I probably overcomplicated it, but I grew up watching my father play the Thief series, so... I like a bit of style.

Anyway, there's also the secret passage into the castle through the slums/sewers and dungeon to consider. It is probably less ideal since you have to open it from inside the castle beforehand and it requires a skeleton key, but it's there for those who want to feel like a proper thief and it's actually a tad bit easier with the guards.

Upon unlocking the dungeon door, you might encounter the jester or the warden--don't worry about it. On top of neither of them calling for guards, their personalities as characters suggest they wouldn't give a damn anyway. From there, make your way up the stairs to the antechamber just in front of the treasury. Follow the guide's advice and wait for Elthar to take his quick break--wait in the antechamber leading to the dungeon so the patrol doesn't catch you from behind.

Walk in, loot, walk out the same way you came in. The only two souls who were even aware of your presence would probably merely smirk if they figured out what you were doing, then be on their way.

One small note though... If you're in the treasure room and Feste is sitting on the throne, you may trigger his greeting phrase through the wall. Add that to the long list of reasons to be iffy on him...
