This week's poll is from our member drunkguy (who hopefully wasn't drunk when suggesting this). It's a fun little poll of no consequence except for the fate of your fictional daughter and heir to the throne.
You can submit poll ideas here (and try to keep them manga/anime-related)
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=3903

Question: How important is manga to your life?

So-so... I enjoy it every once in a while - votes: 2414 (28.6%)
Not that important. I prefer other forms of media - votes: 202 (2.4%)

There were 8442 total votes.
The poll ended: March 12th 2016

second last and last one are almost the same - doing nothing, just with different mindset

I'm amazed how many people wanted to send tens of thousands of people to die just to get their daughter back. I expected people to be sane and actually negotiate with the demons before being rash.

I'm not married...Yet. Still a happy bachelor and no plans for marriage atm...at least not so soon.
Thus I'll not be voting this time around...choosing one option from here is beyond me.

Truthfully the question doesn't give me enough information to make an informed decision so I just guessed off what we got from it and what I would imagine myself ruling like. Thinking like thiis: I feel if they were so infatuated with my daughter that they took her without trying to talk with us shows that they don't have any interest in talking as such it would be a waste of time that they could be further (forgive me I couldn't help it) demonize my daughter. But you could look at the question another way and get a different viewpoint. Just how you look at the question.

... really... we (the users of this site) are unlikely to become a king/queen and it is impossible for there to be a demon army sooo ya your argument is ridiculous.

Previous poll was kinda obvious.
This time... well I suppose I will bargain with them. Who knows maybe it is just some Romeo and Juliet stuff and my daughter just fell in love with some demon, I can just bless them and have some half-demon grandkids.
Am I reading too much of a supernatural romance mangas?

Only a daughter and no son/child option, that´s sexism .
Try to negotiate or bargain with the demons to get her back will be my first option but All out War would be my backup. Weakness in a King = Death.
That daughter of mine is adopted btw. No way am i having kids...
@MinatoAce Bro, you don´t need to marry to get a concubine pregnant. My mother didn´t marry my biological father either and i still exist.

Awesome poll! These types of polls are more fun than the past ones which seemed more like survey.
I will choose the negotiation option. If not than the first option of getting magic.

I was stuck >.<
I ended up picking Lead your army as the hero because it seemed like the route that would most likely lead to an incest story >.> *cough cough* Hey, if I'm a fictional father, I will be dark and twisted like the rest of my story I am creating. XD
But I really wanted to pick Just make another daughter because it made me laugh, and think of the YMS guy. I don't know, I read it in his voice. I love that guy. Well not love love, but I'm getting off topic...
The other one that seemed appealing to me was Abandon her to her fate. Why needs kids or heirs? which to me seems to be that whole evil overlord sort of thing. It just screams "Why should I care about her? I'm going to live forever and rule with an iron fist. Hahahahahaha."

Negotiate of course. If it fails it will be something like: Officially raise an army to save her but that's just for show. Behind the scenes I will just send a few professional kidnappers to get her back while the demons are occupied with preparations for the war stuff.
On the other hand if it is some love story I don't mind giving her hand in marriage in exchange for territories, ever lasting peace, a lot of gold and jewels or something else similar. Oh, plus the condition that my grandchildren must come to visit me at least once an year or no deal

1. Why would I trust a shady mystic? They might be in league with the demons. It might be part of their plan.
2. Putting out a reward is what dudes/dudettes do when they are too old to get up and fight. In my fantasy I'm not 90. On the other hand if I do it on the sly I have plausible deniability. "I don't know who those heroes where that showed up at your camp trying to rescue my daughter..."etc.
3. Negotiate? The demons either kidnapped my daughter out of pure maliciousness (because they are demons) or because they want something that's not good or not in the interests of my people (because you know demons). Caving in shows weakness, gives them what they want and there's no guarantee I get my daughter back. Don't negotiate with [strike]terror[/strike]--ahem I mean demons.
4. Unless your neighbors are really cool asking for help from them can show weakness (maybe they'll invade you), put you in their debt, and you're dragging others into your own mess. So unless its something that might directly affect them they may not be interested. Heck they may say give up on her.
5. Crying is for wussies or Shojo, this is a Seinen story with demons! Manly tears maybe ok.
6. Just make another daughter or abandon her? That's what the harem is for and I'm already busy at work on it, but still can't give up on kidnapped daughter because it looks bad politically. The people might think I'm a cruel and weak King if I give her up to the demons. They may also not like it if she was popular with the "common folk".
The only option left is to rally the masses (and neighbors if they aren't apathetic, backstabbing wretches but its Seinen so they probably are) and kick the demons butts so hard that they won't want to kidnap anyone from my kingdom again. If I can rescue my daughter its a bonus (demons may give her back once the wupping starts) and if they get rid of her then I'll build a big memorial to her and redouble my efforts with the harem.
If I lived in a Shonen world this would be so much easier and I could just be the plucky hero who "saves everyone!"

I think the "Just make another" and "Abandon her" options were added just to suss out how many edgelords visit MU.
