In the novels, Zach's flashback was important for many reasons:

1- introduces the concept of slavery and legal prostitution.

2- introduces the "Golden Princess"

3- The annual war between the Kingdom and the Empire

4- explains how the Kingdom uses farmers to fight.

All of which are important for understanding future development of the story. The anime, howerver, took such a big dump on Zach, Brain, Solution and Shalltear  that anime only fans will not understand anything.
