So… when you do the "Lady Boyle's Last Party" Mission, and you do not have shadow kill, and your given target is Lydia Boyle (the one in red), you will be led to music room. There, she will ask you to play a song on the piano. However, as the music room is open to guests and servants, once you kill her / knock her out, you will attract unwanted attention… how do you eliminate / neutralise her without attracting unwanted attention? (Let's say I have shadow kill tier 1. Even then, she won't turn to ash because she already noticed you. Am I right?)
How to neutralise / eliminate Lydia Boyle without attracting any guards / party guests nearby

Wait for the opportune moment... a long time...
She actually goes to the toilet sometimes. Kill her there and leave. If you want to keep her alive, it's a bit harder...
Firstly, you will need to reduce the number of unnamed guests in the room to the right to the opening hall. Knock them out and dump them in the room with the Wall of Light controls.
There is one guy there you can talk to. Go bother him until he gets the guard from across the room. Lure this guard into a quiet corner and remove him as a problem. Now you can get rid of the Overseer that was previously watched by said guard.
Proceed to remove as many guests as needed from this area (you can poison-dart everyone there quickly), grab the body and move upstairs quickly. From here, proceed to the stairwell at the other side of the mansion, down through the kitchen and deliver her.
